When I talk about good New Yorkers, I mean the Albanian community. You represent good New Yorkers, tireless, dedicated and devoted workers who believe in public safety and the quality of life we ​​deserve as a city. This street naming, where everyone who will pass through it, will raise their head up and see the name, will show what you consider a leader, a hero, he is the name we are giving to this street. It is so significant to know and respect him in a city that you have made as big as it is. Mr. Veliaj, thank you for being here among us, as we name this important road and I say to all my friends of the Albanian community: I do not consider you just a citizen, but as my brothers and sisters “, said the Mayor of New York.

I love your community because you are the best in America! Many people came here in the ’50s-’60s-’70s, all you wanted to do was work hard and ensure a good life for yourself and your children. And you did it! In my palace we have a man, a wonderful Albanian, who started working as a goalkeeper and now owns 8 palaces. This is Albanian history! “So, to see this community grow and make progress, you start to believe in New York and believe in America.” declared the senator, Chuck Shumer.
