The New York Times: Albanians flee terrorists and NATO bombs
May 10, 1999

New York, May 9 (Tanjug) - Kosovo-Metohija's ethnic Albanians are not running away where the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is not active, a New York Times reporter was told when he spoke to an ethnic Albanian family in the village of Velika Dobranja in that province of the Yugoslav republic of Serbia.

"No one has bothered us here," Rahman Llugiqi told a New York Times reporter. In a village which is purely populated by ethnic Albanians, live families who are threatened only by the NATO bombs. Recently, a bomb fell on the house of Rahman Llugiqi and killed his six-year old daughter Arta.

Rahman told the New York Times reporter that his other three children had been wounded in the NATO bombing, and were rushed by Serbs to hospital in Pristina. The horrors of war are being felt, food is in short supply, but nobody is asking them to leave or is harassing them, Llugiqi said, explaining they have heard stories about such things but have seen and experienced nothing like that themselves.

The New York Times put this truth to its readers who read and hear only lies from most other national media about alleged "ethnic cleansing" of Kosovo-Metohija of its Albanian population. U.S. President Bill Clinton, too, keeps repeating this lie without offering a shred of proof, so as to justify NATO's continued aggression Yugoslavia.

The report from Velika Dobranja proves that ethnic Albanian are being driven away only by KLA terrorists and separatists in order to create a refugee crisis as a pretext for NATO's brutal aggression and attempt to occupy Yugoslavia.

In answer to the reporter's question, Llugiqi said that the ethnic Albanians and Serbs must live together in Kosovo-Metohija.
