Summary/Abstract: The Great Powers of that time and the international organizations that dealt with the minorities treated the issues of the foreign minorities in Albania and the Albanian minorities in Greece in a disproportional manner. A typical example of the above is the way the Albanian minority in Chameria was treated as compared to the Greek-speaking minority in South Albania. This article presents new data on this subject. The principal study uses a comparative methodology, based on all the indications concerning the social and economic situation, as well as the political rights of the minorities. It reflects the efforts of the Albanian government for the protection of the Cham population and its interrelationship with the international organizations. The Greek - Albanian debate on the protection and treatment of the minorities, as well as the dissymmetrical policies followed by the two countries towards their respective minorities are treated in e detailed way. The Yugoslavian - Albanian relations on the issues of minorities and religion are dealt with in the same narrow manner. Inside the article one can find an elaborate reflection of the position kept by the British government and legations towards the issue of Greek and Albanian minorities and the rapports between the two countries. A documented presentation covers the attitude of the Greek and Albanian press towards the issues of the minorities.
