Albania, Jerusalem and two resolutions

Story Highlights

• To describe how the government explained its approval of the America bashing Final Communique of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in Istanbul and its vote at the UN General Assembly for the resolution which condemned the US President's decision to transfer the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, both last December, could be helped by a very popular character among several Albanian generations: the good soldier Švejk in the homonimous novel of the Czech writer Jaroslav Haŝek. His illogical and naïve quotes comes to mind while hearing our minister of foreign affairs stating on December 22nd that the resolution in question "was not a vote against the US"! Instead it was a vote aligned with the member states of many organizations, including "NATO"!
