Iosif Adamidis

Iosif Adamidis (Greek: Ιωσήφ Αδαμίδης) was a Greek politician.

Adamidis was born in Korçë (in Northern Epirus as known among Greeks)[1] in modern southern Albania, then Ottoman Empire.[2] He was one of the leaders of the anti-Albanian uprising of Korçë in March 1914.[3] In following July he participated in the Delvino Assembly, as a representative of Korçë, where the delegates of the Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus ratified the Protocol of Corfu. The latter document granted an autonomous status for Northern Epirus under nominal Albanian sovereignty.[4]

He was elected as member of the Greek parliament (1915-1917) for the Korytsa prefecture, when his homeland came under Greek control.[2][5]
