Summary/Abstract: The occupation of Çamëria by Greece was followed with a special policy of continuous repression, terror and assimilation over Albanians. Greece was aiming at achieving denationalisation of this Albanian province through massive physical violence, looting (plundering) of possessions, expulsion from their autochthonic lands and their colonisation with Greek elements. In order to uphold their brothers, this was opposed by the members of Albanian Parliament. Political concept of member of Albanian Parliament comprised defending of Albanians under Serbia and Montenegro and also the Çamëria question. And precisely the measures of protection of the Çam brothers were put forth as object of discussion at the Albanian Parliament or before the National Council from December 18th, 1922 and afterwards. Albanian parliamentarians described suffering of the Albanians that remained outside Albanian administrative borders, and position of Greeks towards the Çam question in the Peace Conference of Versailles. They demanded from the Albanian Government to protest energetically to the Greater Powers, the League of Nations and to the Conference of Lausanne in favour of protection of the Çam people in Greece. Presentation of the Çam problem was very wide. They demanded that human rights of the Çams should be defended, and their property and also other possessions. Analysing of all the ways and also diplomatic and political means was objective of parliamentarians in Parliament sessions for defending of the Çams.
