Sorry Lantonov but you Bulgarians are shit. Do not even talk about how bad living under Turkish rule was. My ancestors and millions of people had to flee after ethnic cleansing commited by Bulgarian puppet state. Today there are millions of Turks who had their origins back to Bulgarian lands and there are still 750,000 Turks TRYING to live in that same Bulgaria after all those nationalistic and communistic bullshits that tried to change their names to Bulgarian ones and convert their religion. You are telling nothing but shit here with that so-called "hard times under Turkish rule dramas" If Bulgarians can speak Bulgarian language and still Orthodox, it is because of Turkish rule that gave them the tolerance. If we were really that cruel, there were no Bulgarians left today and believe me if we had performed "the steppe way" you would have been disappered from earth! Now, go fuck your own mother with those bullshits.
