In 1940, the paper Lienzer Zeitung published an article on Greek war criminal Kopo Diro and his atrocities against the Albanians of Camëria. Cited from the article:

“Greek Terror Against the Albanian Minority

Rome, August 22. Italian intelligence reports serious concerns among the Albanian minority in the northern Greek province of Ciamuria. The terror against the Albanians, it is said, is increasing at an ever-increasing rate. A strong band of Greek Komitajis has been formed from Janina, Florina, and Preveza against the Albanian minority. According to long-standing Albanian experience, their incursion into Ciamuria means murder and arson in the minority villages.

The command of this force is in the hands of the Greek Komitaji leader Kopo Diro, whose name is indescribably hated by the Albanian minority due to the atrocities he committed earlier in Ciamuria. The incursion of these Komitajis, according to rumors in Rome, is then to be portrayed as a spontaneous reaction of the Greek population against the Albanian Muslim population”.
