Albanian Vasil from Lesbos
Then something suddenly and unexpectedly happened, the Turkish Constitution was declared. The Young Turks had overthrown Sultan Abdülhamid, taken command, and ordered all the people of the Ottoman Empire to celebrate Freedom. The same order reached our village as well. According to the circular, Christians and Turks would celebrate as 'brothers'. From this moment on, all our past differences should be forgotten and we should extend the hand of brotherhood to each other. The Turks were worried, they always obeyed the state like slaves, but we were crazy with joy. Coffeehouses and taverns serve free drinks and distribute free drinks all day long. "Zito Elefteria! Long live Hürriyet!"
