The 117th anniversary of the patriotic battle led by \u00c7er\u00e7iz Topulli\u2019s guerrilla unit was commemorated in the village of Mashkullor\u00eb, Gjirokast\u00ebr. In March 1908, this village witnessed one of the most remarkable battles against Ottoman occupiers, on the eve of Albania\u2019s Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n

During the event, participants laid wreaths in honor of this historical event and paid tribute to the patriotic contributions of \u00c7er\u00e7iz Topulli and his unit.<\/p>\n

“The Veterans’ Organization of Gjirokast\u00ebr is here today to honor the 117th anniversary of the Battle of Mashkullor\u00eb\u2014an event sacred and dear to us for its resistance, loyalty, and contribution to Albania’s freedom and independence,” said Shk\u00eblqim Gu\u00e7e, Chairman of the Veterans\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n

“This was one of the first preludes to our country\u2019s independence. The distinguished patriot \u00c7er\u00e7iz Topulli sparked the initial flame that led to later uprisings for Albania\u2019s liberation. We will always remember his great deeds because they are a living history of our people’s struggle for freedom and independence,” stated a veteran at the event.<\/p>\n

Recently, the monument of \u00c7er\u00e7iz Topulli was reinstated in the newly reconstructed square bearing his name, located in Gjirokast\u00ebr\u2019s museum area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
