The fire in Finiq today has also endangered the Archeological Park of Finiq, which contains great cultural assets, but not only that. The educator and archaeologist Jani Kocillari spoke about this in a television program. He said that we are dealing with one of the most important archaeological sites in Albania, after Bylis and Apollonia.
It affected one of the most important sites in Albania. Epicenter of Epirus. We are talking about the most important site after Bylis and Apollonia. There is also Butrint nearby. It was the epicenter after the fall of the Hayakite empire, it was the new capital.
One of the cities mentioned by historians. The park is not only the upper part, the Acropolis, the Theater of the Paleo-Christian period. We also have the treasure of Finic, it is one of the richest centers as Polybius says.'
According to him, the fire can damage one of the biggest assets from a touristic and economic point of view.
'This fire has reached the top. The city also has a part below, where the apartments are. There are also fortification walls. Now a big fire as you can imagine damages one of the archaeological assets from the touristic and economic point of view. The Ministry approved the continuation of the research project 30 days ago.
40 days ago I was shooting a documentary there.'
Kocillari emphasizes that this can also happen by human hands, however, the assessments will be made in September, when the restaurateurs go down to the field.
'Fires can also happen by human hands. But I hope not. They do incredible damage. When the archaeological campaign starts in September, it will be more problematic. We have extraordinary assets there where all the personnel cannot guarantee safety.'
The flames may have affected the lower part of the archaeological site.
'From the views, the archaeological property has been affected. It's not just the top part, but the bottom part as well. The moment they are touched by fire, they create great damage. The park is affected. The first task will be to assess the situation of the park, the second will be to clean the entire surface of the damaged structure.
Then the archaeological campaign will be started and measures will be taken to prevent these situations from arising. Archaeological structures have also been affected as the surface is very large. There will also be an assessment of how the damages will be. It is the restaurateurs who will make the assessment.'
