Happy October 11th – The Day of the Macedonian People’s Uprising!
The Macedonian Association “Ilinden”-Tirana extends its best wishes to all Macedonians on October 11th—the day in 1941 when the Macedonian people rose up against Nazi and Fascist occupiers, launching the struggle for freedom and independence.
Macedonians from Albania, standing shoulder to shoulder with their compatriots, served in Macedonian partisan units during World War II, making a significant contribution to the fight to liberate Macedonia from Nazi-Fascist occupation.
We honor with deep respect all the brave fighters who gave their lives for the freedom, independence, and self-determination of the Macedonian people. Let us forever preserve the Macedonian identity, language, culture, and historical heritage!
Happy October 11, 1941!
Macedonian Association “Ilinden”-Tirana
President Nikolla Gjurgjaj
