Re: Stop spreading disinformation Pavlos!
In your original post you assert the following:1) That "pasha" was not Ali's title (as Ottoman governor), but instead that "pasha" was his *albanish* middle name meaning saw -- I wonder, were all the other Pashas you mention only by coincidence military governors but in fact had names derived for the *albanish* word for "saw"? :)2) That "Tepelena" was his surname, whereas in fact it was the town in northern Epirus where he was born.3) That Ali Pasha was Albanian, whereas he was an Ottoman Turk.I quote from *The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. © 2003, Columbia University Press*:"Ali Pasha , 1744?–1822, Turkish pasha [military governor] of Yannina (now Ioánnina, Greece), a province of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey)".And with all due respect, I will take the definition of Columbia University over yours *sans voire*.CONCLUSION: Nothing in the stuff you quoted supports your above assertions...so please stop insulting our intelligence with such ndyrësirë...
