OK, lads there is not enough evidence yet, but the facts are surfacing one after another.New researches show that Bulgarian Genetics are completely different from the common Slavic DNA. The theories suggest that this is because of the mixture between the local thracian tribes, bulgar tribes and slav tribes.Modern Bulgarians stil celebrate traditions like Dancing on Ashes or Wine holiday-Trifon Zarezan common for Thracian tradition. Bulgaria is famous for unique folklor and music with Bulgarian song being sent to space. How could it be unique if Bulgarians are Slavic like some of you say?Do not forget that the Cyrillic alphabet originates from Bulgaria and was spread out to the Slav world by Cyril and Methodi and not the other way round. Thats why some people think bulgarian is slavic. I live abroad and some people even tell me that Bulgaria was a Russian republic or that Bulgarian language is Turkish?The only similarities between Bulgaria and Russia have emerged from the close political relationship that the two countries developed after Russua helped Bulgaria to put an end to the 500 Turkish Rule in 1878 about which Europe did not give a sh***. Not only that but Europe was not happy how big Bulgaria was, so they decided to cut off its borders with the Berlin treaty, so Bulgarian nationals now live in Romania, Greece, Macedonia, Turkey, etc.....Because of the 500 years Turkish slavery, two world wars and Balkan wars, comunism, now the Bulgarians and the whole world dont know anything about their history, writing about it the way they want, because no bulgarian was there to protect it.One recent example:The whole world and Bulgaria able to hide that 50 000 Jews were saved in Bulgaria during the World War 2?Bulgarian communists hid it because otherwise they had to accept that the king and the church saved them, but these were the biggest communist enemies. The rest of Europe didnt mind the thruth to be hidden, because they consciously sent their Jewish to the gas chambers, except for Denmark.Isnt it a clear example how easy history could be covered up?The truth came out only when the communism went down the archives were opened. What if the bulgarian communists destroyed the files? Who was going to be able to prove that Bulgaria is the only country in which the Jewish population not only was not killed during World War 2, but its jewish population increased from 48 000 to 49 000.Do you know about the Genoside against minorities happening in Turkey for the last 600 years with the most recent about 1 500 000 Armenians killed, the second biggest after the Holocaust. Well this was happening to Bulgarians for the last 600 years.Also give me one example of a country that was under foreign rule that didnt adopt the conquerer's language at least as a second language, except Bulgaria. The turkish are still trying to do this now, with the latest asking for news on the TV in turkish ???Bulgaria is what's left from a country that conquered even Byzantium Empire for a certain period of time and were the last stop of the Ottoman Empire on the way to Europe, but could not proceed further up because of internal oppositions and battles.At the time of falling under the Turkish Bulgaria was the biggest cultural center in Europe and people thought they would get help from the Christian World, but naa, why would Europe help the biggest country in Europe get free again. It was in Europes interest at the time to keep Bulgaria under Turkish rule and it was Western Europe's decision to cut its borders after Russia freed Bulgaria.Western Europe did similar things to HungaryI dont know if Western Europe has to thank Bulgaria for stopping the turkish, but I do know that Bulgaria definately suffered because of Western Europe politics over the last few centuries. Bulgaria participated in 4 wars to get its teritories back and needs time to revive after hundreds of years of suppression, it takes time but it will happen one day.And by the way, who made the first step of creating computers: John Atanasov-bulgarian
