Albanian Academy of Science has finally come up with its own stance on the newly-published Macedonian encyclopedia which triggered an avalanche of reactions in Albania.
The Academy has said the definitions of Albanians by their colleagues in Macedonia are not correct and are rather tendentious. The statement came after the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANU) published last month its first encyclopedia.
“We understand that each historian has the right to have their own views, however, incorrect facts and absurdities are intolerable for the Academy of Science,” Albanian institution said in a letter which claimed it had not commented the book earlier since it was waiting for an original copy of the Encyclopedia.
