Albanian –american relations

As the author, I write as an Albanian when it comes to expressing gratitude to the USA, but I also try to write objectively, from a distance, without emotions, and I analyse these relations as a scholar. It’s not difficult to prove with many facts that the Albanian-American relations are special. The difficult part is to find the key that explains the undeniable special aspects of these relations in the historical background, without using the political rhetoric that is so inflationist in Albania. If it is easy to prove that Albanian-American relations are special, it’s not at all easy to show in all dimensions the foundations of these relations, which have made them resist the test of time, even the earthquakes, as one can consider the hostile stance of the Albanian communist regime towards the USA in the past.
