      Because the very 'nucleus' of the later establishment called arbitrary as 'Kingdom of Greece' was essentially Albanian (or as Fallmerayer brilliantly called 'New Albania') Ali Pasha's ambitions were to create an Albanian state which would encompass all territories of the later Bavarian creature.

      In 1788 he received his investiture as Pasha of Janina, the capital of Southern Albania. His only ambition was not to become entirely independent of the Sultan. Moreover, he conceived the fiery project of building for himself an Albanian empire which would have included the whole of Greece as well as the Ionian Islands, then in the occupation of France and later a British protectorate.

      (Albania Past and Present By Constantin A. Chekrezi, pg.43)
      "If one calls this country a new Albania, one gives it its real name."
