	Encyclopedia: Macedonian NLA
		The NLA was founded in the fall of 1999, and was led by Ali Ahmeti, the nephew of Fazli Veliu, founder of the KLA, but was out of the public eye until it began to openly be engaged in, what was considered by Macedonian government and media, "large scale crimes" in 2000 and 2001.
		Many members of the Macedonian NLA, led by Ali Ahmeti, later formed the Democratic Union for Integration, a political party that has won the majority of the Albanian votes in the 2002 election and it is a part of the ruling coalition along with SDSM and LDP.
		The NLA was founded in founded in the fall of 1999, and was led by Ali Ahmeti, the nephew of Fazli Veliu[?], founder of the KLA.

	Greater Albania
		The policy was aimed principally at the Slavic populations of the southern Balkan Peninsula, the Serbian Orthodox populations and the Macedonian Slav populations.
		The Serbian Orthodox and Macedonian Orthodox populations were perceived under the Greater Albania ideology as "the enemy", as "them", as an alien population that threatened the existence of the Albanian population.
		The reason why the NLA, and earlier the KLA/NLAPMB, opposes a democratic and peaceful change of the FYROM Constitution through legal and constitutional procedures and processes is because the agenda of Albanian iinsurgencyi in Macedonia is separatism or partition, not igreater rightsi or iequal rightsi as maintained in the propaganda embeds of Western media.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Since June 8, the NLA had occupied villages to the north of Skopje, including Aracinovo, which is within striking distance of the capital as well as the airport.
		NATO involvement in the evacuation provoked an angry response from Macedonian Slavs in the capital, an estimated 15,000 of whom took to the streets, on June 25, in occasionally violent demonstrations.
		However, while it is clear that the NLA is supplied from Kosovo, and includes some veterans of the Kosovo conflict, its position has consistently been that it respects the territorial integrity of Macedonia and is only seeking to force long-sought political reforms within the country that have been too slow in coming.

	Macedonian Endgame - by Christopher Deliso
		Like many Macedonians, she does not believe that the NLA is fighting for "human rights." She reminded me of the rights that Albanians enjoyed before the violence began this March.
		The NLA and Macedonian-Albanian parties are regarded as one and the same – that is, legitimately struggling to win "equal rights" for their "oppressed" minority.
		A Macedonian demand that the rebels disarm when the treaty is signed was rebuked by NATO as being a "deal-breaker" ("Macedonia Peace Talks hit Roadblock," Reuters, 8/10/01).

	Report
		Concerning eight of the missing Macedonians, the former NLA has told the Commission that it believes that one of its own units, over which NLA claims to have had limited control, was responsible for the abduction and later liquidation of these persons.
		From the 23-27 July some 40-60 Macedonian villagers of Neprosteno were abducted by NLA soldiers and brought to a house and later to the school in the village, allegedly for their own safety and security.

		The Kachak Movement was coordinated by the Albanian Kosovo Committee led by Bajram Curi and aided by Italy whose key objective was ìto persuade the international community to agree to Kosovo being annexed to Albania.î Albanian and Italian propaganda termed the Kachak guerrilla movement a ìnational-liberationî movement.
		The reason why the NLA, and earlier the KLA/NLAPMB, opposes a democratic and peaceful change of the FYROM Constitution through legal and constitutional procedures and processes is because the agenda of Albanian ìinsurgencyî in Macedonia is separatism or partition, not ìgreater rightsî or ìequal rightsî as maintained in the propaganda embeds of Western media.
		The NLA and the Western and US media seek to induce NATO military intervention against the Macedonian ìSlavsî by portraying the conflict through media propaganda, through the media of ìthe free worldî, as a humanitarian crisis, a conflict about human rights, minority rights, and ethnic minority grievances.

	German troops to join NATO force in Macedonia
		In the first place, it is doubtful that Macedonian government representatives will be able to reach a political settlement with representatives of the Albanian minority under conditions where the latter are demanding, under increasing pressure from NLA guerrillas, complete independence from the multiethnic state of Macedonia.
		NLA insistence that it be included in talks on changes to the Macedonian constitution is aimed above all at securing international recognition for the organisation as the legitimate representative of the Albanians.
		Should the NLA not be accepted as a partner in the talks, the organisation is determined to escalate the conflict in order to provoke an intervention by NATO, which it hopes would lead to autonomy under NATO protection similar to the situation in Kosovo.

		After this feature, which did not stir much the interest of the Macedonian public, perhaps mostly because all were overcome by the evil of war that took them by surprise, another even more spell-binding feature appeared, this time substantiated with some irrefutable evidence (all the facsimiles were published).
		Explaining the incident, Macedonian spokesperson added that discovery of this group came thanks to the information revealed with the arrest of another group of four mujahideens, 2 from Jordan and 2 Bosnians studying in Jordan.

		In villages inhabited by Macedonians in the Tetovo region, ethnic cleansing is being implemented in the presence of US military personnel who are advising rebel commanders.
		In this regard, Washington's military-intelligence ploy is to fracture Macedonian territory, foster internal social divisions and fuel ethnic strife.

		As in Kosovo, the KLA-sponsored NLA has been able to exploit legitimate grievances of the Albanian minority population, which faces various forms of discrimination at the hands of the bourgeois Macedonian state.
		The terrorist activities of the NLA have polarised the situation and strengthened extreme nationalist elements on the Macedonian side.
		Not without reason, therefore, is NATO regarded by considerable sections of the Macedonian population to be an accomplice of the Albanian nationalists, who are seeking to divide the country and strip it of its independence.

	Macedonia News - The Role of the Western Media in The Macedonian Conflict by Carl Savich
		The Macedonian government leaders and Macedonian citizens made accusations and allegations that the Western, NATO countries were arming, training, supplying, organizing, and supporting the NLA/KLA/KPC "rebels" in their invasion from NATO-occupied Kosovo-Metohija.
		The term "liberation" means that the army is seeking to occupy territory and to neutralize the legal government and military/police force, in short, to destroy the authority of the established government by military force.
		The Macedonian government condemned the act of genocide by the NLA and compared it to the Taliban, a Pakistani-based ultra-nationalist Islamic regime sponsored by the CIA, which demolished Buddha statues in Afghanistan.

	Decision on the Prosecutor's Request for Deferral and Motion for Order to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
		The Public Prosecutor General, in the hearing on 25 September 2002, repeated this proposal for a deferral of the NLA leadership case to the competence of the Tribunal.
		The Prosecutor therefore reported to the Macedonian authorities in her letter of 26 June 2002 that she had decided not to indict these two individuals and that it would be for the competent Macedonian authorities “to decide on the status of these two individuals in question”.
		The Macedonian authorities thus rightly took the position that neither Article 9 (2) of the Statute, nor Rules 9 and 10 of the Rules opposed against the exercise of national jurisdiction by prosecuting the two individuals.

		The US sponsored "evacuation" from Aracinavo had enabled the NLA terrorists --together with their American military advisers and foreign mercenaries-- "to open up a new front" around the village of Radusa, 40 kilometers northwest of Skopje.
		Amply documented, the United Nations so-called "civilian" Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) is the KLA in disguise, and the NLA is a proxy of the KLA.
		In April, the Commander in Chief of the Macedonian Armed Forces (ARM) General Andrejevski was accused by A1 TV Skopje of having transmitted military intelligence to the NLA through MPRI General Richard Griffiths, who is director of the US "equip and train" program with the Macedonian ARM under a US military aid programme.

	Reality Macedonia : "Formally Disbanded" NLA Threatens With New Violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Tetovo, January 11 (MIA) - The so-called NLA, which was "formally disbanded" in October 2001, released another announcement on Friday, threatening with new violence and accusing the Macedonian authorities for ignoring the Framework Agreement.
		The announcement, signed by "the NLA spokesperson", also warns the Macedonian authorities to cancel police patrolling in the regions populated by Albanians, because "on the contrary, the NLA will not take responsibility for their fate."
		Former "NLA" leader Ali Ahmeti said that "such speculations, as well as announcements for new clashes this spring, represent verbal terror against the Macedonian citizens." In his opinion, the public attention should be focused on implementation of the Framework Agreement.

		They tore down the Macedonian flag and replaced it with the old one, which has a sun and 16 sunrays, which was forbidden in 1993 after the harsh debate with Greece.
		While the "calm rebellion" was taking place in Skopje, the NLA and the Macedonian forces were fighting in the highlands of Tetovo.
