The Tense Relations Between The Albanian Monarchy And The Turkish Republic (1928-1933)

Summary/Abstract: On the 1s t September 1928, the Constitutional Assembly approved unanimously the new constitution which proclaimed Albania a Parliamentary Democratic Hereditary Monarchy, and chose as king of the Albanians his highness Zog I . Shortly after, all the European countries started to recognize, one after the other, the Albanian Monarchy and King Zog, except for Yugoslavia and Turkey. While Yugoslavia considered the proclamation of King Zog I as "King of the Albanians" as an ambition to include in his kingdom the Albanian territory and population that was politically part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the reasons for the hesitation of Turkey, as defined by Mustafa Kemal in a later interview given for the Albanian journalist Nebil Cika, were internal and political.
