Every system in our universe (no mater a stone, a wolf, a rabit, a
country, a person or a politician) cares for its own benefits _only_.
Our politicians will start thinking about the good of Bulgaria as soon
as Bulgarian peolpe _presses_ them to do so. IMHO, at the moment this
is not quite possible, because of the still continuing lethargy and
lack of economical interest left from the totalitarian days. I'm sure
that as people become more involved in the economics of the country
they will be able to make more sound decisions about what politics
they want.  According to me, the old saying still holds - Every people
deserves it government.

Maybe many of the readers don't know but there has been created a new
newsgroup - alt.news.macedonia. Mr. P.V. Gadjokov was very kind to inform
me few days ago about this fact, and today the group "appeared" in the UK

Subject: Goce Delchev
Date: 23 Jan 93 13:48:00 GMT
Followup-To: soc.culture.bulgaria
Organization: Dept Computer Science, University of Manchester, U.K.

On the 23rd of January 1872, in the small village called Kukush (about 40
km north of Salonica, now - Thessalonica), was born Goce (Georgi) Nikolov
Delchev - the man who became a legend and a hero, of the people of
Macedonia.

The proud father - Nikola Delchev didn't know that his first male boy
(the family had 2 girls before Goce) will be regarded as the greatest
and most dangerous rebel of the Ottoman Empire in the Macedonia and Odrin
regions and it was from his father, that Goce inherited the heroic and
rebellious spirit. But Goce wasn't only the rebel and the fighter - he was
also the one, who suffered together with all other suppressed people, and
who dedicated his life to stop the unjustice and the pain. Goce inherited
this nature from his mother - Sultana, a woman with good and "soft" heart,
well known for her kindness towards all who feel pain, not only in the
"Varosha" (the quarter ["mahala"] of Kukush, where was Delchev's house) but
also in the entire Kukush village.

Much can be written on Goce Delchev, but I'd like to add only the words
of his friend and follower - P. Yavorov:

"With his love towards the people, Goce was a genuine humanist;
with his self-confidence - a real fighter; with his foretellings -
a true prophet."

  I won't bother to post the original article, the subject line says it
all.  Historically, the Bulgars were a nomadic people from Central Asia
speaking a language related to Hungarian, and (more distantly) to Turkish.
In the area of modern Bulgaria, these people have completely assimilated
among the Slavic population, leaving only a few personal names and some
obscure words in the language (for instance, Krum, a man's name not
found in other Slavic languages).  Modern Bulgarian language is instantly
recognizeable as a Slavic language, either through comparison of vocabulary
or grammer.  The only Bulgarians who understand Turkish are those who have
studied it as a second language, or those who are of Turkish (including
Gagauz) origin and use it at home.  Bulgarian and Turkish are not
mutually comprehensible.  The only people in Turkey who could understand
my Bulgarian were Gypsies (not to claim I speak Bulgarian well, you
understand, just better than Turkish...)

Hi:

The Bulgarians came indeed from the steppe.  In fact the Evro-Asian steppe ends
in north Bulgaria - region called today "Dobrudzha", however the modern BG
language is related to the group of the slavic languages, because the Bulgarian
s mixed with slavic tribes and also Bulgaria is strongly influenced during the
last 2 centuries from Russia.  The Russia tries to expand to the South and
the Panslavic idea is on of the means to acheive this goal.  During the last 48
years it is tabu in Bulgaria to talk even for the real Bulgarian origin.  The
communists considered it a crime against the basics of the "socialist fatherlan
d" and punished it with 3 years in prison, because their state theory was to
murge Bulgaria with USSR, and everyone who spoke about the non slavic origin

of the Bulgarians was considered enemy.

Small portion of the population still speak Turanian language.  These people ar
e known as "gagauzi".  They are either decendants of the original Bulgarians or
tribe closelly realred to them.  They are chistians.  The language is strongly
influenced by the Turkish language that was official language during the period
Bulgaria was under Turkish domination.

The above information is related to the Bulgarians that live in Bulgaria, Ruman
ia and the region of Dnester and Odessa in USSR today.

I don't have much information about the Bulgarians that live in the region of
Volga river in USSR.  There used to be the real Great Bulgaria.  The river
Volga used to be called Bolgar river.  Later the tatars were not able to
pronounced B and thay called Volgar river.  The Russians dropped the r at the
end and called it Volga as it is known today.  These Bulgarians are musulmans.
Their state was desroyed by the Mongolians in 13 century, but obviously the
population was not.  Nothing is known about them because the official theory in
Soviet Union was that the Bulgarians should be slavs.  Last summer I met in NYC
a Bulgarian from Volga region and he told me that there the Russians called the
m tatars.  He didn't look Mongolian common Bulgarian anthropological type

if he didn't told me that he is from Volga region I would never think he is fro
m Asia.  His language however I was not able to understand, because I am famili
ar with the slavic Bulgarian and my knowlige of Turanian languages is very
limited.

US REACTS TO EMBARGO VIOLATIONS. The United States has called for
strict enforcement of the embargo imposed against rump Yugoslavia,
Western agencies reported on 26 January. State Department
spokesman Richard Boucher said the US has again told the
governments of Bulgaria and Romania that they have the authority,
as well as the responsibility, to stop Danube vessels suspected of
sanction-busting. Boucher added that the UN Security Council
Committee on Sanctions, which convened last weekend, is of the
same opinion. He also revealed the State Department has been in
contact with Ukraine, which is believed to have provided the fuel.
Meanwhile, early on 27 January, agencies report that the fuel
convoy led by the tugboat Bihac has already reached Serbian
waters. Reporting from the Bulgarian port of Ruse, BTA named three
more tugboats pulling barges and "navigating without impediment"
on the Danube. Kjell Engelbrekt, RFE/RL, Inc.

	So Greece is concerned because Goce Delchev was born in  
Kukush/Kilkis, right? Or, because bulgarians happen to remember their  
national heroes? Please calm down, you sound offensive.
