Script error: No such module "For". Template:Infobox Albanian place
Aliko (Albanian definite form: Alikoi; Template:Langx) 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.[1]
Demographics
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[1] – which are inhabited solely by Greeks.[2]
The population according to the 2011 census was 3,849;[3] according to the civil offices, which count all citizens including those who live abroad, it was 8,818.[4] The latest official census in Albania (2011) has been widely disputed due to irregularities in the procedure,[5][6][7] and its results affected by boycott by part of the Greek minority.[8]
History
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.[9] The killings provoked mass demonstrations by the Greek communities in the region against the regime authorities.[10] Today a monument is erected at the central square of Aliko and commemorative events are being held annually in memory of the victims.[11]
