| | This region has been fully Hellenic since ancient times when the region was united with the rest of Epirus. | | | Enotita for that reason calls for all Political groups/parties, Cultural Societies, and other Organizations of Greek and Vlach nationality from Albania to come together under Enotita to create a front against the Albanian. | | | It is with this in mind that we call for the Greeks and Vlach of Albania to come together for their own well being to overthrow their Albanian oppresors. |

| | @ ALBoZONE - Articles - "Northern Epirus" Between Propaganda and Myth |
| | It is indisputably evident, on the other hand, that no Albanian dialect or sub-dialect presents nowadays traces of a Greek substrate, and this constitutes a valid proof that no Greek population in the territory of the so-called northern Epirus has ever been assimilated by Albanians, as the Vorio-Epirote doctrine wants to make us believe. | | | This represents, because of the historical nature of their claims, a main argument, although the ethnic tableau of the ancient Epirus is far from being established. | | | Northern Epirus is a mythic-geographical expression that, during this century, has acquired some pseudo-historical, and pseudo-cultural meaning, thanks to the efforts of fanatic political, religious and cultural groups and associations in Greece and in the Greek Diaspora. |
