Remember that at that time, albania was way way bigger than todays geographical albania which is relatively small..
The turks already had greece, so through greece, macedonia, bulgaria etc, they would have to go through Albania in order to get to italy. The route, through Kruja (albanian territorial area) provided a route between east, and west..
If u look at the european map, turkey(constantinople) and greece are south of albania and western europe is northwest of albania.. so you see that they would have to go through albania in order to get to rome.
why would turks launch a naval invasion against italy? it wouldnt prove as affective as land invasion.
Quoting: Albanian-1 i dont know if you are claiming that Albania used to cover the area now Serbia, but i reckon you must be looking at a special map? certainly Kruja is no path to anywhere from Constantinople except the sea. Turkey is due East of Albania, Istanbul is practically same latitude as Tirana. Once you have Bulgaria you would carry on NW ward through Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Solvenia. Albania is an unnessary detour. i dont think turks would favor a naval invasion, thats my point, there's no advantage to holding Albania with Rome or Italy in mind. you'd only want Albania to fill in the gap.
