The ethnology of Europe By Robert Gordon Latham
Some authors, particularly Biris (1961), have likened the medieval Arvanitic migrations to that of the ancient Dorians. Some Greek authors go one step further, and have proposed theories that link the ultimate ancestors of the Arvanites with pre-Greek "Pelasgians" (Kollias 1983), or relate Arvanitika with Ancient Greek. These views have no echo in mainstream modern scholarship. The "Pelasgian" view was fashionable in Greece in the 19th century and was then applied to Albanians in general. It was used to claim autochthonous status and hence historical affinity with the Greek nation, since at that time Greeks wished to win the Albanians over for the formation of a common Greater Greek nation state (Gounaris 2006). "Pelasgian" theories are currently still propagated by the largest association of Greek Arvanites (Αρβανιτικός Σύνδεσμος Ελλάδος, [1] and ). Other Greek authors have proposed an ancient Greek identity of the settlers based on their supposed Epirote ancestry. <!-- m -->
it should be noted that prior to the events that lead to the balcans wars, greeks were a major proponent for albanian-illyrian theories and links, then after the wars their view changed.
albanians owe a lot to greek historians of that era who wrote a great deal on the subject of illyrians, prior to 1912, greeks never even questioned albanian ancestry.

You starting to skate... it happened when it happened,Greeks had no say in it but once free they changed their views on Muslim Albanians. Call it denial call what you want... Arvanites found themselves between a rock and hard place.
