Experts on topics ranging from Balkan history and culture, human rights, migration, security issues, to politics and poetry\u2014journalists included\u2014while visiting the AIDSSH archive, became deeply curious to better understand Albania\u2019s past, the dark mechanisms of oppression, and the consequences during the rule of the dictatorial regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chairwoman of the Authority, Dr. Gentiana Sula, acquainted them with the history of the former State Security\u2019s activities, the documentation created, and the persecution of citizens during the period 1944\u20131991.
