The Gërçe Memorandum ((アルバニア語:Memorandumi i Greçës)〔(Jouney to Greçë on the 104 anniversary of the meeting (in Albanian) )〕) of 23 June 1911 included twelve requests for the establishment of an autonomous Albanian province within the Ottoman Empire. The Memorandum was jointly written by Ismail Kemal bey Vlora and Luigj Gurakuqi. The leaders of the Albanian Revolt of 1911 organized a meeting at the location of Gërçe (Greçë, Gerče, Gerča), in the Kingdom of Montenegro. It is believed to have been a location in Zatrijebač, in modern-day eastern Podgorica municipality. Ismail Qemali joined them and together they draw up the memorandum, sometimes referred to as the "Red Book" because of the color of its covers, which addressed their requests both to Ottoman Empire and Europe (in particular to the Great Britain). This memorandum was signed by 22 Albanian chieftains, four from each tribe of Hoti, Gruda and Shkreli, five from Kastrati, three from Kelmend and two from Shalë. Requests in the memorandum included: * General amnesty for all participants in the revolt * Demand for recognition of the Albanian ethnicity * Election of the deputies of Albanian ethnicity for the Ottoman Parliament according to the proportional system * Albanian language in schools * Governor and other appointed high officials have to know Albanian language and all other positions in the administration have to be reserved only for people of Albanian ethnicity * Men who are ethnic Albanians to serve army only in Albania during peacetime * Confiscated arms to be returned * All Albanian property damaged by Ottoman troops to be compensated The Memorandum was submitted to the representatives of Great Powers in Cetinje, Montenegro. It was drafted by Qemali as a reply to amnesty offered by Ottoman military commander Shefqet Turgut Pasha on 18 June. ==See also== *Albanian Revolt of 1911 *Battle of Deçiq 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gërçe Memorandum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
