Grekët e sotëm: Dallime mes rishikimesh

Imazhi e shqiptarëve në ideologjisë popullore greke është ende një shëmbëlltyrë e errët dhe mendimet ekzistojnë në mesin e popullatës greke se shqiptarët nuk kanë vend dhe asnjë popull.<ref name="Hart197"/> Grekët radikal irredentistë mendojnë se shqiptarët vetëm vjedhin dhe plaçkitin trashëgiminë kulturore të popujve të tjerë dhe se kurrë nuk kanë përbërë një unitet kombëtar-racor, dhe janë pasardhësit të grekëve (70%), sllavo-turqit (20%) dhe disa fiset franke (10%).<ref name="Hart197">Hart, Laurie Kain (1999). "[https://www.jstor.org/stable/647505 Culture, Civilization, and Demarcation at the Northwest Borders of Greece]". ''American Ethnologist''. 26. (1): 197. "The Albanian of Greek popular ideology is still a shadowy figure. When the Albanian national football team played a match against its Greek counterpart in Athens in 1990, the Athenian fans chanted: "You don't have a country [homeland]/You don't have a people/ What are you doing here/On this playing field?" [Dhen ekhete patridha/ Dhen ekhete lao/Ti irthate na kanete/Sto yipedho afto?]. The message is not hard to grasp. Having no place and no people, the Albanians cannot constitute a national team; if theirs is not a national team, it cannot have any place on the national playing field. Radical irredentist Greeks put the matter unambiguously: Stealing and plundering the cultural heritage of other peoples [Albanians] should understand that there is no question of their securing a uniform national-racial [ethnofiletiki] identity, because they have never constituted a national-racial unity. They were and are—whatever they say—the descendants of Greeks (70%), Slav-Turks (20%) and various Frankish tribes [Frangikon filon] (10%). [Giorgiou 1993:196]."</ref>
