Aliko (Albanian definite form: Alikoi; Greek: Αλύκο) is a village and former commune in Vlorë County, southern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform, it became a subdivision of the municipality of Finiq.[2]
Demographics
[edit | edit source]In addition to the village of Aliko, from which it takes its name and also serves as the administrative center, the unit includes nine other villages – Çaush, Dritas, Halo, Jermë, Neohor, Pllakë, Rahullë, Tremul, and Vurgu i Ri[2] – which are inhabited solely by Greeks.[3]
The population according to the 2011 census was 3,849;[4] according to the civil offices, which count all citizens including those who live abroad, it was 8,818.[5] The latest official census in Albania (2011) has been widely disputed due to irregularities in the procedure,[6][7][8] and its results affected by boycott by part of the Greek minority.[9]
History
[edit | edit source]On 11 December 1990, four young local Greeks were shot dead in their effort to reach Greece by soldiers of the People's Republic of Albania.[10] The killings provoked mass demonstrations by the Greek communities in the region against the regime authorities.[11] Today a monument is erected at the central square of Aliko and commemorative events are being held annually in memory of the victims.[12]
