(The academic session, 20 October 2000 , during the ILM “Ditët e Naimit 2000“, in Tetova)

The 100 anniversary of Naim Frashëri's death

In the session "Naim Frashëri: bektashism and nationalism" that was held in Tetova from 19 to 21 October 2000, during the ILM "Ditët e Naimit", in the 100 anniversary of death of this great example in Albanian literature and culture, were read a lot of speeches from well-known studiers and academics from all the Albanian places, but as well as from foreign studiers, admirers of this culture and literature.

The main speeches concerned the bektashism and nationalism in the work of Naim Frashëri, whose point of views were very interesting. As in every academic session, even here were read some speeches of general aspects, that help to fill the voids in studies concerning this poet, with linguistic or pedagogic character, etc., but anyway they have to do with the main theme. With other words, all the speeches present different bonds in the tradition of such studies, because they emerge from the same level, the huge and great work of Naim Frashëri.

To keep whole this session, the Board decided to gather and publish the speeches in a book, which would be surely interesting for the readers and especially, the studiers.
