  • The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace
    The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace, 1893-1912 By Martin Valkov Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Prof. Tolga Esmer Second Reader: Prof. Roumen Daskalov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The current thesis narrates an important episode of the history of South Eastern Europe, namely the history of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and its demand for political autonomy within the Ottoman Empire. Far from being “ancient hatreds” the communal conflicts that emerged in Macedonia in this period were a result of the ongoing processes of nationalization among the different communities and the competing visions of their national projects. These conflicts were greatly influenced by inter-imperial rivalries on the Balkans and the combination of increasing interference of the Great European Powers and small Balkan states of the Ottoman domestic affairs. I argue that autonomy was a multidimensional concept covering various meanings white-washed later on into the clean narratives of nationalism and rebirth.

Yane Sandanski as a political leader in Macedonia in the era of the Young Turks 1 Yane Sandanski as a political leader in Macedonia in the era of the Young Turks Mehmet Hacısalihoğlu 1 Like all nation-states, the Balkan states have had their historical heroes. These heroes were mostly armed men fighting against Ottoman rule -- such as Vasil Levski, Gotse Delčev, and Pavlos Melas -- or poets and thinkers advocating the fight against the “Turkish yoke” — for example, Regas Velestinlis and Hristo Botev1. One of their common characteristics is that they were all killed by the Ottoman authorities, either shot dead in combat or hanged by the Ottoman court. By the time of their death, they were young and generally had not had the opportunity to act as politicians.

  • The Position of Bulgaria with Regard to the Albanian Factor in Macedonia During the London Conference of Ambassadors
    Anton Panchev THE POSITION OF BULGARIA WITH REGARD TO THE ALBANIAN FACTOR IN MACEDONIA DURING THE LONDON CONFERENCE OF AMBASSADORS DOI: 10.2478/seeur-2014-0012 At the beginning of the 20th century, Bulgaria's principal goal, and the national ideal of the state and the Bulgarian people was the liberation to all Bulgarians under the Ottoman Empire and the creation of a united Bulgaria. Most important for Bulgaria was the Macedonian question and unification of Bulgarians in these lands with the Bulgarian state. To realize this goal, the institutions in Sofia always took into consideration the ethnic structure in Macedonia particularly in its western parts. Because of that focus there is much Bulgarian evidence and many documents which detail the political, economic, and social situation in the western lands of Macedonia. Bulgarian information concerning Albanians at the beginning of the 20th century comes from many sources including: a. Bulgarian consuls and representatives in some Macedonian towns sent many reports about processes concerning Albanians to Sofia; b. The leaders of Bulgarian revolutionary organizations took into consideration the development of the activities of the Albanian liberation movement and had contacts with the Albanian leaders in the 1880s and 1890s. VMORO’s documents and the memoirs of its leaders are very important source for the history of the Albanian liberation movement; c. Many interesting facts were presented by Bulgarian scientists who researched the east Albanian lands in this period. We should mention the reports of teachers, school inspectors, priests etc. The goal of this document collection was to present detailed facts concerning Albanians in Macedonia and about all processes among them, 135 Unauthenticated Download Date | 2/21/16 8:46 PM SEEU Review | Special Edition | Volume 10 | Issue 1 | 2014 which was to be used for elaborating Bulgarian politics.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 7673 7 ABSTRACT My thesis is concerned with the social changes a group of young female engineers experience in The Republic of Macedonia during the break-up of Yugoslavia. From my studies, I infer that this group of informants is representative of those most affected by their country's changes: they represent the young, urban educated elite that is influenced most directly by the political changes of independent Macedonia. The work has two major aims. First, it provides a detailed ethnography of the search by my informants to understand and define the new circumstances of The Republic of Macedonia. I conclude that the Fall of Yugoslavia and Macedonia's 'forced' independence created a vacuum of meaning for its population.

People and events that Kiryakov himself directly or indirectly has met or attended are mentioned in here. This means that the book does not claim to contain ALL the documents from the struggles of the Macedonians under Pirin or that it contains all Macedonian activities, so the rest of the documents, notable people and descriptions of this struggle, remain to be published in later issues. From the editors 3 MAIN SPONSOR OF THE BOOK: Macedonian Orthodox Community of Australia 4 INSTEAD OF AN INTRODUCTION Before we move on to the basic subject of this book, we have to explain why the Macedonians were never Bulgarian, nor did they have ethnic Bulgarian origins, as it is claimed by the majority of Bulgarian governments and official organs.
