message: Some misleading statements.  I qualified "The Greek police report that the group currently consists of approximately 30-40 Albanians," with "As of 2001" (same with the 2001-communist source" because the article made it seem like these were recent occurences.
Why can't we call this a defunct organization?  It's generated no activity since 2001 and never made a single attack on Greece.  By comparison, the Northern Epirus Liberation Front (MVAI) caused more damge than these guys (http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:Mh3XsafOgcEJ:www.tkb.org/MorePatterns.jsp%3FcountryCd%3DAL%26year%3D1994+Northern+Epirus+Liberation+Front&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=8&gl=us).
:I don't see a source saying it is defunct. We have an article on the Northern Epirus Liberation Front. - Francis Tyers · 15:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No it wouldn't be NPOV. It doesn't have to be a primary source stating that, a reliable secondary source would be acceptable. - Francis Tyers · 18:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The evidence for the existence of this group is untenable. Two of the sources given are the same and the commentator in them denies the existence of any such activities. Another one is of an extreme(ish) right wing Greek group and speculative. There have been no recorded activities for such a group or any statments made. Unless concerete evidence is presented I suggest this article has been created for the sake of creating an article on a non-existent terrorist group.
All the evidence seems dated in 2001 when Greece was extremely vigilant to seal its borders from any terrorist groups who would penetrate the country and eventually threated the Olympic Games. Politis 15:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This is not a Greek source. Gregory R. Copley,THE ROAD TO PEACE IN THE BALKANS IS PAVED WITH BAD INTENTIONS,Washington, DC, June 27, 2007,"What we saw with the Bush visit to Tirana was the emergence of the Albanian thrust — supported by both the Government of Albania and the KLA — of an Albanian sponsored group, the UCC,4 seeking secession for part of Greece, Epirus, known historically also as Chameria. The Cham people draw, to some extent, their identity from a community formed in the Epirus area of Greece by the Roman Army some two millennia ago. The reality today, however, is that the Chameria Liberation Army — the UCC — was formed by the KLA and is in fact a part of the quest for a “Greater Albania”, and its proponents have said as much.A delegation of the UCC on June 10, 2007, delivered a letter to President Bush during his visit to Tirana. The UCC letter referred to the existence of an Albanian minority in Western Greece (Epirus) and the UCC requested recognition of the “genocide of the Albanian Chamerians” allegedly conducted by the Greeks in the end of World War II, and to recognize “the right of the people to return to their homes in Greece from where they were expelled”, and “return their estate that was attached”,plus other nationalist requests.And a few weeks before President Bush’s arrival in Albania, UCC delegations delivered letters to the US embassies in Rome and Tirana. Albanian nationalist sentiment and protests increased, along with strong propaganda against the Greek minority in southern Albania, after the Bush visit to Tirana. The UCC, meanwhile, has been building its support base with demonstrations and events leading toward today — June 27, 2007 — the date that the Albanian Parliament in 1994 called the “Chameria national anniversary”. The presence of President Bush in Albania, then, and his statements supporting the independence of Kosovo, encouraged and triggered the extreme feelings of nationalist Albanians, who are also seeking independence in western FYROM, and the Greek region of Epirus. Indeed, the Albanian people have for decades, but increasingly in the past 15 or so years, been so distracted by leaders who have promised that they could, and should, have some of their neighbors’ wealth, that they have allowed those leaders to fail them in actually creating wealth and strength in Albania itself."Megistias (talk) 21:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I'll check the sources and especially Vickers []. She makes some descriptions on the issue and about what the press claimed about this organization, I'll check the following hours. Right now I've removed some parts that were recently added and are completely wp:or, like the claims this youtube stuff and that the organization was founded in Thesprotia (map is also irrelevant in the specific article).Alexikoua (talk) 19:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
