That's the most interesting part:
Nobody dominated Albanian highlands as long as the Turkoman dynasty did it.
Btw Turkish partial control started in 1390's but Albania was a battleground between Turks and Italians until 1479 when the Venetian possessions and allies (like Scanderbeg and his friends) were all crushed.
If you add the years of the First Bulgar Empire to Ottoman Empire, I think the Turkic state domination in Albania exceeds Rome + Byzantium years. Despite these latters are geographically closer and Turks came from far far far away.
