ÇermenikëorÇermenika is an upland northeast of Elbasan, in central Albania.

In the Middle Ages, as TzernikonorTzernikos it was an episcopal see of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, as a suffragan see of the Archbishopric of Dyrrhachium.[1]

In the medieval period the upland used to be inhabited completely by Catholics.[2] The Roman-Catholic church then erected an episcopal see, which is today the Titular See of Tzernicus and which was a suffragan of the Metropolitan See of Achrida (Ohrid).

In the mid-15th century, the region was ruled by Gjergj Arianiti, one of the main leaders of the Albanian resistance to the Ottoman Empire.[3]

In the late Ottoman period it is reported that the region had 12 villages and 3000 Bektashi inhabitants.[4]

InWorld War II, the area was a centre of the Albanian Resistance to the German occupation.[5]
