“In September of ’44, my father left, I was 14 years old. Only I have children. He behaved well with his mother. He was not an angry person, he even left all the control at home to my mother.
From the end of 1949 we were interned. In the year that I was interned, the comedy was also made, maybe that was one of the reasons why it was published the most. I have not seen the comedy, it was embarrassing for me that my father was played. I was at school, in the second grade of high school, Qemal Stafa, it was the premiere the first night it was to be given and everyone was there, Enver Hoxha, Mehmet Shehu and others from the Bureau… but there was also a Soviet woman, a teacher.
When I went to school the next day, great frenzy, people’s curiosity had increased, and the word that the son played himself came out, and some people came out and said to me ‘how are you making fun of dad and that’, I told them ‘I no it wasn’t me’.
The same thing at school. The first class that day I had Russian, she said ‘Mulleti, last night in the theater I saw you…’, these classmates wanted so much, ‘this is it’. Then he calmed the children down and asked me. ‘where is father? In Italy’ I told him.
I have met Robert Ndrenika, some 6-7 years ago. I don’t hold a grudge against him. A friend even says to Ndrenika, ‘is this your son?'”, says the son of Qazim Mullet.
Who was Qazim Mulleti?
Qazim Mulleti was born in the neighborhood “Sulejman Pasha” in Tirana, on December 20, 1893 and died on August 28, 1956, Vicolo delle Grotte Rome. He was prefect of Tirana during the fascist occupation. He completed his first studies in Bitola, continued at the “Zosimea” gymnasium in Ioannina and recently completed his higher studies at the imperial college “Gallata Saraj” in Istanbul, with a gold medal. He was polyglot. He knew Turkish, Ottoman, Arabic, German, French, Italian, Latin, Serbo-Croatian and Greek.
In 1912, together with many other Albanian students, he participated in the raising of the flag in Tirana and Vlora. In 1914, he was one of the four adjutants of Prince Vid. They left together in Vienna, where he lived there until 1920. There, with the direct intervention of the Austrian marshal Trolman, who covered the Balkan region, Qazim Mulleti pursued additional specialization studies in the field of military diplomacy of war. In 1920, he took part in the Congress of Lushnja.
The government created by the Congress of Lushnja was prevented from entering Durrës, where it was destined to exercise its functions, since the Congress had chosen the Capital. With the intervention of Qazim’s uncle, Mytesim Këlliç, Abdi Toptan and Qazim Mullet, as well as other Tirana delegates to the congress, the government was temporarily established in Tirana. Many patriots of Tirana opened their homes at the disposal of the new government. (A Mullet house became the first Ministry of Agriculture).
Later, in the talks of the National Assembly, Qazim defends and argues why Tirana should be the Capital of Albania. The geographical, strategic and climatic positions were more favorable than those of the city of Durrës. (Tirana, de jure, became the Capital of Albania in 1925). In September 1920, he was the Commander of the Volunteer Forces against Serbia.
On April 25 – May 3, 1921, he participates in the Congress for the National Union in Vlora, as a representative of Tirana, in which the patriotic society “Vllaznia-Zgjimi” operated, together with Mr. Hafiz Ibrahim Dalliu and Mr. Musa Maçi. as representatives of the “Lidhja Kombëtare” society and Mr. Avni Rustemi of the “Bashkimi” society. In the Government of Sulejman Delvina and Fan Noli, he had an important task, as prefect in Dibër. After the failure of the Revolution, he leaves Albania.
