Muhajir (Albania)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhajir (or Mohajir, from Arabic Muhajir, Albanian spelling Muhaxhir or Muhaxheri), in Albanian-populated regions including Albania and Kosovo, refers to Albanians from Chameria (Greece) and parts of Vilayet of Kosovo (Sanjak of Nis, Sanjak of Yenibazar etc.) which were ceded to Serbia and Montenegro. They were deported through the ethnic cleansing exercised by the Greeks and Slavs beginning the weakening of the Ottoman Empire.
