"We decided to restore dignity to the country, undo an injustice with the names in Tirana. I understand that different systems, different regimes, different governments, different parties have their own opinions. But, I think that some things are already rooted in our history, such as the role of Skenderbeu, the role of the Rilindas, the role of the Anti-Fascist Movement, and it is a fact that Tirana was liberated with its own forces. It is a fact that Tirana had 86 victims, who are known as the "Martyrs of February 4". It is a fact that the road has always been there, so the restoration of the name for the segment from the Bank of Albania to the Lana River, as a road parallel to the "Dëşmorët e Kombit" Boulevard, restores this injustice done to the families, to the martyrs and to those who believe to the cause of anti-fascism", said Veliaj.

You corrected it. Well done!"
