Don't know. Never involved in it. Perhaps, if a rapist does it, it may
be funny for him/her. Perhaps, it is not funny for the victim. One never
knows, though. :)                    

Someone mentioned someone else's mother in a very offensive way recently

For those that missed the first call: we are counting people
willing to pay the equivalent of $10 or more per year (less than 1$ per
month) for e-mail news from Bulgaria. 
 
If you are one of them, please, send me a short message saying so. 
The idea is to get an estimate of what we can pay and then
shop for the source of the news. 
 
Plamen Bliznakov reminded me that he had already done a similar
count that resulted in 5 (five, petima?!) people ready to pay for
e-news from Bulgaria. That is definitely not many. But perhaps we
can do better than that (to use the president-elect's words)
After 2 days we already have 8+5=13. Quite encouraging!
 
We will be a bit more aggressive this time. I will post this
message at least once a week and will extent the response time
till Jan.15. Maybe we should use the old e-mail list. Some people
may have stopped following scb, because of lack of information.
But we don't need any sales pressure.  Only people that are truly
committed to give some money should write to me. 
 
Besides we should consider all possible sources of information.
BTA, for example, as suggested by Luben to Plamen. Does anyone
know if they have an e-mail address.  
Don't they prepare some sort of bulletin in English?
Also, there use to be a newspaper called "Sofia news" published in
English. Does it still exist? 
Open Society is just one possibility. It is attractive because
they are already distributing a newsletter and may view this just
as a additional means to achieve their goal. I mean that we may
just need to add to an existing fund.
What about the Ministry of foreign affairs. Don,t they compile
some sort of news bulletin that is not secret? 
I would have thought that there should be plenty of institutions
in Bulgaria that should be eager to use this network spread the
"Bulgarian propaganda" around the world.

Luben, it is good to collect facts but not to follow the way of 
thinking of a writer if you don't take into consideration the
political purposes and the historical and diplomatic intentions
of those guys. What I'm telling is that YES, the greek side did
commite atricities during the BW II, as you can easily find them
in the Carnegie Report (I started yesterday to read it, but my french
are almost completely lost). What I'm warning you though is the
total viewpoint which they wanted to give:

The WW I was in the scaffolding when the report was published. Bulgaria
was not yet committed to the Germans but the greek King was notoriousely
proGerman because his wife was related to the German King. The pressure
on Greece was immense by the allies (entente) to enter the French
and British cause. Final result: In 1916, the french and british
navy blockaded the Peraius port and bombarded relentlessly Athens.
Thousands of people were killed. And finally forced abdication of the King
and acceptance of the civilian pro-entente government of Venizelos.
The Carnegie report was designed to pressure the greek king of the
time. If you want you accept it or not. From what I have *heard*
by people who lived that time (in 1980 an 95 years old man who had
fought those wars), they used to say that greece was very upset by
the Bulgarian king. Ten years competition and atrocities between
greek and bulgarian querrilas in macedonia was overpassed by the
BW I, just only to see few months later that the bulgarian king 
was starting the same tactics again by starting BW II. 
As far as ethnic cleansing during the BWs is concerned, I'm sure you
mean BW II, not BW I, when Ferdinard's restiveness against his ex-allies
was already threatening the gains from the BW I. Gains which he himself
had guided toward non-Bulgarian areas.

I still see an approach of "unfairness" for Bulgaria from BWs, but 
it seems that you want to deny the big political mistakes of the
bulgarian king as the real cause. If he had kept greek populated
areas from the Ottomans from the BW I, without losing them in the
BW II, I'm sure he wouldn't hand them out to the greek state...:-)!

        What's this? This is totally NON-SENSE.

If we start pointing out with the finger on "who started what" certainly
we are leading our selves in the well known riddle: "What came first;
The chicken or the egg?" As far as if the Bulgarian regime during the
WW II was fascist or not I don't know; certainly though this regime
doesn't say anything about the current regime and political dynamics
in Bulgaria. Except if they want to repeat the same exactly 1940's
regime; which is obviously not-true.

The nonsense can be established on two grounds:

1. The terrorist activities in Ottoman Macedonia didn't start in
   1913. Actually all 4 sides: Bulgarians, Greeks, Serbians and Turks,
   were systematically terrorizing local peasants who didn't follow
   their political line at least between 1904 and 1912 continously.
   Houses were burnt, people were killed and shown in public for
   "teaching" the others, and whole areas were living under the
   constant fear of being obliterated. If you want to find the start
   of terrorism you certainly have to go on this period and all the
   organized querrilas groups. And what did you expect? When Ferdinard
   was showing no desire to accept the results of the common effort,
   that Greece would permit the same terrorism which was applied and
   by the Bulgarians in the Ottoman Macedonia to be continued under
   the establishment of Greek administration after their liberation?
   Certainly not! The first thing to do was to crack down the strongholds
   of supplies of the Bulgarian querrilas in the region. And certainly
   they succeeded with minimum human life losses. Several years later
   the total exchange of populations happened and so even the legal basis
   for Bulgarian intervention was removed.

2. What's the argument: Because greeks did terror activities on us in
   1913 then we should retaliate on them in 1943? So in an area where
   there were no slavs and which was mostly inhabited by refugees from
   Bulgaria after the population exchanges (Eastern Greek Macedonia),
   the Bulgarian state had to start deportations and terrorist activities?
   So today, 1993, Greece should start retaliating against all: Germans,
   Italians and Bulgarians; because all had applied terrorism during the
   1941-1944 occupation? This doesn't make any sense! It's politically
   suicidal and does have an attitude that the future will be the same as
   the past. But, thank God, it seems that modern politicians, at least
   in the west, have realized that using pseudo-historical arguments
   to justify new unreasonable expansions, is just huge waste of resources
   (both human and material).

BULGARIA AT BLACK SEA MEETING.  At a conference of the foreign
ministers of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation group in Antalya,
Turkey, on 10 December, Bulgarian chief delegate, Deputy Foreign
Minister Dimitar Ikonomov, confirmed Bulgaria's support for
coordinated regional efforts, although he said cooperation should
not be allowed to interfere with the "foreign economic or foreign
political priorities" of the 11 participating countries. According
to the BTA report, Ikonomov reiterated Bulgaria's position that
the Black Sea states must avoid becoming a closed group.  Bulgaria
accepted chairmanship of the group for the second half of 1993 and
proposed hosting an international research conference on economic
aspects of Black Sea cooperation. (Kjell Engelbrekt, RFE/RL, Inc.)

I would like to agree with you. But the truth of the matter is that
you avoided to answer to my comparison of 120,000 Turkish Cypriots
and 12,000,000 Kurds in Turkey. Somehow the game doesn't seem fair.

What about the 200,000 Greeks in Istambul in 1960s. They are all
3,000 today. My roommate, Greek from Istambul keeps telling me
how the Turks grabbed their properties in 1979 and they had to
move in Athens. He speaks of course better turkish than greek
and his name is Turkish: Ioakim Tsiligkiroglou, works as a
computer engineer in Washington DC. And on top of that, we have
Sadic in greek Thrace to complain why the 100,000 turks of 1922
have become only 120,000 today.

Also agree. Here is the address of Mr. Soros and his foundation:

Mr. George Soros
Open Society Fund, Inc.
888 Seventh Avenue
New York, NY 10106
USA

From personal experience I can tell you that dealing with the Bulgarian
representatives of Soros in Sofia leads to -> (or =) 0 attention. Unlike
them (thought it is not so correct, and that is why there is representative
in BG) one can get an answer from Soros himself.

If anybody proposes a letter, it may be a good idea for any netter,
supporting the idea, to email his name and address + that he supports this
letter, and the text, "signed" in such a way, be sent to Mr. Soros.

Perhaps someone could approach one of the few US organizations devoted
to furthering Bulgarian studies for some help in getting electronic news
going: (1) Bulgarian Studies Association, (2) Society for Advancement of
Bulgarian Culture. After all, how much money could be involved?
