Këtu kemi një tjetër term ''Grek modern'' duke deklaruar se Anatolianasit nuk kanë ndonjë vetëdije etnike dhe që flet "greqisht" nuk do të thotë keni qenë "greke" dhe Orthodhoksia nuk ishte vetëm "greqisht".

Shqiptaret janë më të vjetrit ne Athine , pjesa tjetër janë të ardhurit nga zona të tjera dhe refugjatëve të krishterë e trashëgimitë e ndryshme etnike ..

Nacionaliteti shqiptar është i përbërë nga disa fise të dallueshme-zakonit që bëjnë, Gegë, Mirdites, Çamë, dhe Liaps....Si rregull, i njëjti lloji i shkëlqyer fizike është i dukshëm në mesin e shqiptarëve në përgjithësi, ato ndryshojnë disi sipas shkallës dhe përzierje me racave fqinje, sllaveve në veri, dhe në jug greqi.

Dashamiri dhe miku i madh i shqiptareve, protestani i denje, Edwin Jacques shkruan:

Albanian leadership in the Greek war for Independence (1820-1826)

Pondering the decline and fall of Greece, Lord Byron observed, "A thousand years scarce serve to form a state. / An hour may lay it in the dust, and when/ can man its shattered splendor renovate?" (Byron 1891,1:2.84). Albanians seem largely instrumental in doing just that.

While the sultan was preoccupied with Ali Pasha, the Greeks seized the opportunity for their own insurrection in 1820, finally achieving independence in 1826. In that war of independence, many of the outstanding leaders were descendants of the Albanians who had migrated there under John Bua Spata.

The Greek islands of Spetzai, Hydra and Poros were inhabited almost exclusively by people of Albanian blood. Many of these made their livelihood as fishermen. In the struggle for independence they contributed such national figures as Miaulis, Djavela, Marko Bochari and the female naval commander Laskarina Bubulina (Skendo 1919, 25).

The French writer Honorë de Balzac published in Paris (1828) his Laments and Elegiac Songs, folk songs eulogizing Bubulina, Bochari and others, which he collected from an Albanian woman who emigrated to France (NAlb 1984, 3:16).

The British historian George Finlay, in his seven-volume History of Greece (Finlay 1877, 4:254-57) stated that in the struggle of Greece to regain her independence from Turkey, the soldiers of Suli and the sailors of the islands of Hydra and Spetzai were the bravest warriors and the most skillful mariners, and "these were of the purest Albanian race." In fact it was another Briton who declared it not likely that the independence of Greece would have been achieved but for the invaluable services rendered to the revolution by the Albanians, both of Albania and Greece (Peacock 1914, 178). As confirmation, the first president of free Greece, Capodistrias (1828-1831), was born in Corfu of an Albanian family originating in Gjirokastra (Skendo 1919, 26).

It is altogether remarkable that although separated from their motherland for centuries, many of their descendants even yet have not lost their language, customs and traditions. One of these who distinguished himself recently in the Greek navy was Admiral Kunduriot. During the naval battle of the Dardanelles in 1912 he shouted a command to the crew of his battleship in the Albanian language. When asked afterwards why he had used this unaccustomed idiom, the admiral replied, "From enthusiasm!" His reponse corresponds very closely to the reason given by Alexander the Great for frequently speaking to his Macedonian troops in their non-Hellenic language.

On another occasion Admiral Kunduriot learned that his ship's officers had forbidden the seamen to speak Albanian among themselves. The admiral summoned the seamen on deck and asked them, "A kuvëndoni Shqip, more?" (O you, do you talk together in Albanian?). The sailors looked at one another, hardly knowing what to reply. One of them took courage, and answered, "We do talk together just a little, Admiral." Kunduriot replied, "Go ahead and talk together in Albanian, for we are the ones who liberated Greece!" (Dituria January 1927, 86).
