Albanian community in Bronx warns of protest: Renaming of the street in honor of Fan Noli is being blocked
The Albanian community in the Bronx of New York has warned of protest, as they are not being allowed to name a street in the Morris Park neighborhood after Fan Noli, the former prime minister and co-founder of the "Fire" association.
The New York Post writes that City Council member Marjorie Velazquez is blocking the naming of this street among Fan Noli. She has blocked the request addressed by the Albanian-American citizens.

Nisur nga kjo, aktivistët shqiptarë synojnë të ngrihen në protestë. Këshilli miratoi një ligj dhjetorin e kaluar, me mbështetjen e ish-këshilltarit Mark Gjonaj, ku miratoi riemërtimin e rrugës Fan Noli.
Por Velazquez, e cila duhet të paraqesë zyrtarisht një kërkesë në Departamentin e Transportit të qytetit për të vendosur tabelën me emëritimin e ri të rrugës, nuk e ka bërë këtë.
“Ky është diskriminim. Këshilltarja po minon komunitetin shqiptaro-amerikan këtu. Nuk e di se çfarë ka në mendjen e Marjorie Velazquez", tha Ornela Beshiri, një banore e Bronx-it me origjinë shqiptare.
“Ajo nuk po e përfaqëson komunitetin shqiptaro-amerikan në mënyrën e duhur”.

Burimet thanë se Velazquez në mënyrë alternative pohoi në diskutime se kërkesa për riemërtimin e rrugës erdhi shumë. Gjithashtu mohoi se po shkelte të drejtat e zgjedhësve shqiptarë.
“Unë hedh poshtë idenë se nuk po lehtësoj asgjë. Bashkëemërimet e rrugëve të këshillit zakonisht ndodhin në muajt e ngrohtë, kështu që ne mund të organizojmë ngjarje në natyrë që kremtojnë kulturën e organizatës sponsorizuese.
Ky emërtim është iniciuar nga paraardhësi ynë dhe ne po sigurojmë një tranzicion të qetë. Mezi presim të organizojmë një ngjarje që do të nderojë kontributet e shumta që komuniteti shqiptar ka dhënë për qytetin tonë”, tha ajo.

Gjonaj, the former councilor said: “ Fan Noli is a hero. To remove this moment of cultural pride and get caught up in politics is a slap in the face. "It sends a chilling message to Albanian-Americans, who contribute so much to our city that they do not matter."
New York Assembly member Michael Benedetto, who represents the Morris Park area, said it is unfortunate that street renaming is not being done.
"It would be a wonderful thing for the Albanian-American community. "I do not know why there is an obstacle," said Benedetto.
