[ALBSA-Info] Albanian boy and Greek flag divide nation

[Albi Qeli]

Sounds Greek to me, no pun intended. 

I can't believe that these Greek morons are making such a fuss about who
will carry the Greek flag. 

Instead of saying that Cenaj is a Greek (like they did with Manjani), these
funny Greeks are now worried that an Albanian may actually carry the Greek
flag. Oh my, oh my. . . The whole thing is even more ridiculous if one keeps
in mind that the Greek revolution in the 19th century was essentially a work
of Albanians. 

"Bravo" to Cenaj, God bless him, and God bless all other Albanian students
wherever they be. That's what we need, some brain power.
