Greek informers

"It later became clear that members of the tribunal had been led astray by Greek informers who wished Germenji removed, since he was a powerful Albanian leader."

This sentence is supported with referenced source. Still, I believe that it is against NPOV. Greek population of Northern Epirus was attempting to achieve certain rights from the beginning of the French occupation of Korce, not to mention earlier events. In the presented sources it was clearly stated that French general said: We do not want to allow Greeks (nor royalists or Venizelists) or Essadists or Italians to have control over Korce:"The general does not want to give Korce to Greeks nor of any kind [or royalists Venizelists], neither Italians nor Essad Pasha Toptani."[1]. But when Greece accepted to join Allies in WWI then France decided to allow some influence of Greece, as compensation for their participation in war. That means that arrest of Germenji is not result of French tribunal "led astray by Greek informers". I propose to delete this sentence from the text, or to add here presente explanation, in order to mantain NPOV of the article.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:07, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above statement. It appears that his activelly involved in favor of the central powers per: [[2]] he lead the anti-Entente campaign together with Sali Butka during the Moscopole destruction of 1916. There is also this [[3]] that confirms that he switched sides.Alexikoua (talk) 13:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
