Page "Isa Boletini" Paragraph 6

On 4 September 1912, The Turkish government notified its acceptance of the Albanian conditions, with the exception of that for regional military service.

After four years of sporadic fighting the Albanians had administered a heavy blow to the Turks, who agreed to create a virtually autonomous Albanian State.

However none of the other Balkan States wished to see an independent Albania, but rather envisaged the partition of Albania between them.

They thus hastened to precipitate war with Turkey, the purpose of which was the annexation of Albanian-inhabited territories that were under Turkish rule.
