N\u00eb\u00a0pranver\u00ebn e vitit 1988\u00a0e kisha lutur\u00a0p\u00ebr nj\u00eb intervist\u00eb p\u00ebr “Z\u00ebrin e Amerik\u00ebs”. E pranoi menj\u00ebher\u00eb. N\u00eb at\u00eb koh\u00eb Kosova ishte n\u00eb q\u00ebnd\u00ebr t\u00eb v\u00ebmendjes nd\u00ebrkomb\u00ebtare. E pyeta p\u00ebr problemet e Kosov\u00ebs.\u00a0Athanas Gegaj tha:\u00a0“Kosova \u00ebsht\u00eb tok\u00eb shqiptare dhe si e till\u00eb ka q\u00ebn\u00eb \u00a0qysh n\u00eb koh\u00ebrat antike.

E kujtoj sot e k\u00ebsaj dit at\u00eb intervist\u00eb historike me Dr. Athanas Gegaj. Ai mbante lidhje t\u00eb ngushta me aktivist\u00ebt shqiptar\u00eb t\u00eb Kosov\u00ebs dhe viseve t\u00eb tjera shqiptare t\u00eb rob\u00ebruara nga Jugosllavia.Dekad\u00ebn e fundit t\u00eb jet\u00ebs e kaloi n\u00eb vetmi t\u00eb plot\u00eb. Mbante lidhje vet\u00ebm me Hasan Dostin dhe me dy tri familje t\u00eb tjera shqitare t\u00eb atij qyteti.\u00a0 Edhe ceremonia e tij mortore\u00a0kishte q\u00ebn\u00eb tep\u00ebr private e vog\u00ebl dhe tep\u00ebr modeste.
\nAthanas Gegaj kishte q\u00ebn\u00eb patriot\u00a0i v\u00ebrtet\u00eb shqiptar. I kishte t\u00eb gjitha tiparet e\u00a0patriot\u00ebve t\u00eb Rilindjes son\u00eb komb\u00ebtare.\u00a0T\u00ebr\u00eb jet\u00ebn kshte punuar p\u00eb t\u00eb mir\u00ebn e\u00a0\u00e7\u00ebshtjes shqiptare. Dashurin\u00eb e tij p\u00ebr Arb\u00ebrin\u00eb e kishte fituar edhe m\u00eb shum\u00eb\u00a0 gjat\u00eb studimeve maratonike \u00a0shum\u00eb vje\u00e7are n\u00ebp\u00ebr Evrop\u00eb p\u00ebr heroin\u00a0ton\u00eb komb\u00ebtar\u00a0Gjergj Kastriot Skend\u00ebrbeun. P\u00ebr k\u00ebt\u00eb vep\u00ebr madhore do t\u00eb kujtohet p\u00ebrgjith\u00ebmon\u00eb. Do t\u00eb kujtohet edhe p\u00ebr q\u00ebndres\u00ebn e tij\u00a0sidomos antifashiste. Ishte intelektual “par exellence”. Pavar\u00ebsisht se ishte larguar nga detyra fetare Athanas Gegaj kishte mbajtur lidhje t\u00eb forta e miq\u00ebsi me klerik\u00ebt\u00a0 shqiptar\u00eb t\u00eb gjitha feve. Kishte ruajtur respektin e dashurin\u00eb p\u00ebr fen\u00eb e tij nj\u00ebsoj si n\u00eb koh\u00ebn kur kishte q\u00ebn\u00eb meshtar. Ai nuk \u00ebsht\u00eb trash\u00ebguar. Veprimtaria e tij atdhetare dhe intelektuale nuk mund t\u00eb p\u00ebrfshihet n\u00eb nj\u00eb sh\u00ebnim si ky. Njohurit\u00eb e mia p\u00ebr veprimtarin\u00eb e tij komb\u00ebtare dhe kulturore nuk jan\u00eb n\u00eb nivelin e duhur.

Ky kolos i kultur\u00ebs dhe atdhedashuris\u00eb meriton studime serioze. Meriton edhe nderimet e zyrave t\u00eb larta t\u00eb Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb dhe Kosov\u00ebs.
