Syria "nest" for about 10 thousand Albanians, the neighborhood where Albanian is spoken
The fall of the Assad regime is the most discussed international topic and was also addressed on the show "Opinion", where an interesting detail was revealed that there is still an old Albanian community in Syria.
According to official data from a census conducted several years ago, it turns out that there are 10,000 people of Albanian origin there, located in several important cities, such as the capital Damascus, Aleppo, Hama and Lataka.
But more details about this community were given to us by Gentian Mara, a theologian, invited to the studio and who studied in Syria from 2003 to 2011. He emphasized that there are 4 important personalities of Albanian origin not only in Syria, but throughout the Islamic world.
They are Muhamed Nasrudin Albani, Vehbi Sulejman Gavoçi, who had mastered Albanian very well, Abdul Kadër Arnauti and Shuaip Arnauti.
But why are there so many Albanians in Syria?
"What is the connection from Albania, their emigration is almost at the time of King Zog. The changes in Albania for some were not conceived as religious rights, so they chose who would emigrate to Istanbul and who to Damascus. At that time, Sulejman Gavoçit, the father of Vehbi Sulejman Gavoçit, who was a prominent scholar in our region, settled and others followed him. A community was built, they built a mosque in Damascus. It is one of the large mosques in Damascus, today it is called the "Mosque of Faith". Sulejman Gavoçi from Shkodra built it and also used it as a learning center for Albanians there," said Mara.
He said that there are also neighborhoods with Albanians in Damascus, where Albanian is still spoken in their homes. For those who have left, they have preserved the names of dishes, etc.
"Those who are in the neighborhood preserve Albanian. Those who have separated from the neighborhood preserve only names, whether it be dishes, etc. The neighborhood continues to preserve Albanian, they speak Albanian in their homes. In Albania we have descendants of the Gavoç family who have returned as a result of the crisis. One of them was one of Sulejman Gavoç's sons, Shefqet Gavoçi, who passed away last year," said Mara.
