On the occasion of the anniversary of the assassination of the national fighter Vasilis Sachinis by the communists of Enver Hoxha, who was methodically preparing to seize power, exterminating the Greek patriotic fighters.
Those were particularly difficult years, under the rule of the italian And german Occupiers. the People Of northern epirus, who had seen, for a moment, their homeland liberated from the victorious Greek Army, το 1940-41, μετά την επίθεση της ναζιστικής Γερμανίας (1941) και την υποχώρηση του Στρατού μας από τα ιερά εδάφη της Βορείου Ηπείρου, βρέθηκαν ξανά κάτω από τον καταθλιπτικό ζυγό των ξένων κατακτητών. Μα το χειρότερο ήταν ότι είχαν να παλέψουν και με τον μισελληνισμό των Αλβανών. Γιατί οι τύραννοί τους δεν μπορούσαν να παραδεχθούν ότι οι Βορειοηπειρώτες είχαν υποδεχθεί με έξαλλο ενθουσιασμό τους φαντάρους μας, που κατεδίωκαν τους Ιταλούς επιδρομείς. Οι Αλβανοί ήθελαν την Βόρειο Ήπειρο αλβανική. Κι οι Βορειοηπειρώτες διεκήρυσσαν, με έργα και με λόγια, τον προαιώνιο δεσμό τους με την Ελλάδα. Το μίσος φώλιαζε στις καρδιές των Αλβανών και ζητούσε εκδίκηση.
That is why, when the people of Northern Epirus saw our soldiers retreating and retreating in April 1941, they said to them with tears in their eyes: – Brothers, why are you leaving us and leaving? They knew from their experience the bitter aftermath, that the hatred and anti-Greek mania of the Albanians awaited them again. And things confirmed it. Because, when the heavy darkness of Occupation, in addition to The german-Italians, The "Tsami" and the familiar Half-Greek albanians, they now also had the organs of communism headed by the soon-to-be inhumane tyrant Enver Hoxha, who systematically eliminated every patriot who worked to keep the Northern Epirus people faith in Christ and love in Greece.
Then, precisely, in that irrevocable era, the teacher once again gave his own dynamic "presence" Vasilis SachinisHe had distinguished himself in previous national competitions, not only as a teacher of Greek language in Gjirokastra until 1916, but also as a bank associate, natural leader of the Greek population of the prefecture of Gjirokastër, founder of the "New Friendly Society" for the school issue of 1934, imprisoned and subsequently exiled to Italy, uncompromising anti-communist. Now, leader of the Organization M.A.B.H. (Northern Epirus Liberation Front). Because he deeply believed that after the end of the war, the Northern Epirus would be incorporated into the Greek National CorpsAnd in this direction he had turned his struggle.
Perhaps, however, he had not properly calculated the Albanian mishellenism. Thus, he was caught on November 17, 1943 and after being tortured, he was murdered the very next day. On November 18, he closed his mouth and silenced a voice that fought for the rights of Northern Epirus. But his name has been written in golden letters by HistoryAnd it remains to teach the generations to come that love for the Homeland "is not measured by the acre; it is measured by the heart's passion and blood."
May his memory be eternal. Vasilis Sachinis will never forget him Northern Epirus Hellenism.
