Epameinondas Charisiadis ( Greek: Επαμεινώνδας Χαρισιάδης) was a Greek revolutionary of the Northern Epirus movement, politician and doctor.
Charisiadis was born in Korçë, [1] in modern southern Albania, then Ottoman Empire. [2] In 1914, he was among the local Greek community who organized units of volunteers, known as " Sacred Bands", to defend Korce from eminent incorporation to the newly established Albanian principality. [2] Charisiadis was one of the main Northern Epirote leaders who participated in the anti-Albanian uprising of March 1914 in Korçë. During the rebellion he formed an armed unit in Bilisht and attempted to reinforce the revolutionaries in Korçë. [3]
Charisiadis was elected as member of the Greek parliament (1915-1917) for the Korytsa prefecture, when his homeland came under Greek control. [4] [5] In December 1940, during World War II, Korçë came again under Greek control during the Greco-Italian War. Charisiadis was among the local Greek-Albanian committee who signed the surrender protocol of Korçë. [6]
