Lidhjet Berisha-Ulaj-Rama
Ulaj është me origjinë nga fshati Vuthaj i Malit të Zi. Në vitet '60, familja e tij u shpërngul në Shqipëri, në qytetin e Laçit, jo shumë larg Tiranës. Ai u shfaq si një sipërmarrës ndërtimi në mesin e viteve '90. Ndërsa kryetar i Bashkisë së Tiranës ishte Edi Rama, Ulaj mori leje ndërtimi në lokacione atraktive të qytetit. Media shënoi se në vitin 2004 ai i shiti tre apartamente me çmime simbolike familjes së kryeministrit prej shumë kohësh shqiptar Sali Berisha. Bumi i biznesit të Ulay ndodhi pikërisht gjatë mandatit të Berishës, i cili drejtoi qeverinë shqiptare nga viti 2005 deri në 2013. Mediat shqiptare raportojnë se në vetëm pak vite, Gener 2 është kthyer nga një kompani anonime në një kompani lider në ndërtimin e rrugëve , duke fituar çdo tender. Kur Berisha u largua nga pushteti në vitin 2013, Ulaj u “kombinua” shpejt me grupin e ri në pushtet, të drejtuar nga Edija Rama, ndonëse shoqërohej nga zëri i “burrit të Berishës”. Perandoria e tij e biznesit vazhdoi të rritet. Dhe një nga kontratat më të mëdha që Ulaj mori ishte koncesioni i autostradës Tiranë-Thumanë-Vorë, me vlerë 225 milionë euro. Sot, Gener 2 është një gjigant ndërtimi që ndërton ndërtesa banimi, impiante industriale, hidrocentrale dhe rrugë, si dhe është aktive në sektorët e energjisë, telekomunikacionit dhe pasurive të paluajtshme. Në fillim të vitit 2018 , CNN International bashkëpunoi me Gener 2 Group për të nisur A2 Neës Channel, filialin ekskluziv të CNN në Shqipëri.
