Bulgaria: Nationalists march in Sofia to celebrate Liberation Day
Members of patriotic organizations and nationalist parties have marched through the streets of Sofia to celebrate the 140th anniversary of Bulgaria's liberation from Ottomans’ 500-year rule.
Participants commemorated the Bulgarian, Romanian and Russian troops who helped liberate the country from the Ottoman rule, during the 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish War, by leaving flowers on memorials and holding a minute's silence.
“During the past decade, some people are trying to change history, aiming to rearrange the geopolitical world map. That's why people want us to forget who we are, to forget who liberated us from Ottoman slavery. That's why those people need something more – that we hate the descendants of our liberators," said one rallier.
March 3 marks the signing of the Treaty of San Stefano in 1878, which ended the Russo-Turkish War and the occupation of Bulgaria.
