Rama Urges Finding Reason Why Russian 'Spies' Come to Albania

Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted for the first time after the arrest of two Russians and Ukrainians in Gramsh a few days ago who are suspected of being involved in espionage.

Rama described as ridiculous the statements of espionage in the former Arms Factory in Gramsh as he said that the facility in question does not produce weapons anymore. He emphasized that it is important to find the real reason for the visit of foreigners to our country. 

"I have not had the opportunity to express myself about this. Since you give me this opportunity, let me say that the fog raised over the so-called objects of special importance was for crying and laughing. They are not even factories that make weapons. 

They are declassified as objects of special importance. They are to the point where, because they cannot afford to pay for the electricity bills, even the lights are cut off. They have several guards to protect it from encroachments. To say that espionage was being done by fabricating the remnants of communism is very ridiculous. 

What should concern us is what these people have real intentions in our country. An espionage mission with a sports car that looks like it's calling out, come and catch me is ridiculous," said Rama.

Last Saturday, Mikhail Zoran attacked with neuroparalysing spray two Albanian soldiers, after they caught him inside Gramsh Military factory, while two other friends were waiting for him outside. All three of them were arrested and are accused of espionage.
