Albanian Committee of Janina

The Albanian Committee of Janina (Albanian: Komiteti Shqiptar i Janinës) was an Albanian organization of the 19th century with the aim of defending Albanian rights.[1]

The Albanian Committee of Janina was formed in May 1877 in Janina then a city of the Ottoman Empire in the Vilayet of Janina, by prominent Muslim Albanian personalities of the Vilayet and central figures of the Albanian National Awakening.[2] Abdyl Frashëri from Përmet, Abedin Dino from Preveza, Mehmet Ali Vrioni from Berat, Vesel Dino from Preveza, and other notable members of the Vilayet's Albanian community.[1]

However, because the committee didn't publish a single declaration, document, political decision or official seal, the organization didn't act as anything more than a group of Muslim Tosk Albanians who shared the same ideology.[2]
