Mulla Jakup Asipi (2 February 1951 – 7 January 2006) was a Macedonian Albanian mullah and commander of the National Liberation Army. He was one of the most important religious personalities among the Albanian Muslims. His multimedia appearance in the last 25 years, especially after the 90s, has directly influenced the awareness of the Karadak region, both in terms of the Islamic religious and the national and patriotic aspects.[1][2]
