The faunistic list includes 24 species altogether (from 18 genera and 5 families), or roughly 45% of the opilionid species recorded so far from Bulgaria. Eleven species are new to the fauna of the Eastern Rhodopes and new chorological data are added for six species and subspecies. A comparison between the faunas of the Eastern and the Western Rhodopes is presented, and a zoogeographical characterization of the opilionid fauna of the latter region is furnished. Some comments on endemism, expected number of species, and the conservation status of the studied animal group in the investigated area are provided. Key words: Opiliones, harvestmen, faunistic, zoogeographical notes, Rhodopes, Bulgaria Introduction The Rhodopes Mountains (GULUBOV et al., 1956; GEORGIEV, 1985, 1991), as a part of the Rila-Rhodopes massif, stretch throughout the southern parts of the Balkan Pen- insula and possess a relatively high average altitude (785 m). Based on morphohydrographic traits, the Rhodopes massif is usually subdivided into two main parts - western part (area: 8061 sq. km) and eastern part (area: 4172 sq. km). In contrast to the Western Rhodopes, the eastern part is more hilly and has a relatively lower average altitude (330 m). The Eastern Rhodopes are predominantly influenced by the Mediterranean climate, but due to their specific geographical configuration (i. e. the mountain chains are widely open northwards), the cooler continental airflow is also felt, especially in the winter. Despite that, the winter is relatively mild; the snow cover is not so long lasting, the mean monthly temperatures do not drop below 0°C, and the average annual rainfall is relatively high (600-1000 mm). The summer is dry, the maximum average temperatures reach 31°C (in the area of Kardjali) (GEORGIEV, 1985; GRUEV, 1988). As a result, a significant climatic differentiation may be observed in the area of the Eastern Rhodopes - the transitional continental and the transition- al Mediterranean climate, combining with some elements of the temperate continental and mountain climate (above 1000 m), are manifested in the region (GEORGIEV, 1985, 1991). 168 P. MITOV In the past the Rhodopes massif existed for a long time as a compact land massif (development of the current relief began at the beginning of the Neogen), and so it is geologically the oldest land in Bulgaria. All this, together with the fact that the mountain was ice-free during the glaciations periods, has permitted many relict species to persist on its territory (GULUBOV еt al., 1956). Additionally, many expansive Mediterranean taxa have reached the mountain (GRUEV, 1988). So the Eastern Rhodopes, as a part of the territory of the South Bulgarian biogeographical region - a zone that has acted as an impor- tant refuge, supporting the survival of several thermophilous floral and faunal elements during the Pleistocene (see GRUEV, 1988), represent an area of significant interest for both faunists and zoogeographers. Review of previous investigations The opilionid fauna of the Eastern Rhodopes is much less known compared to the fauna of the Western Rhodopes (Table 1). Until now they have not been a subject of special research. Only 13 species (belonging to 11 genera and 3 families) have been reported from the area so far (ŠILHAVÝ, 1965; STARĘGA, 1976; BERON, 1994; BERON & MITOV, 1996; KARAMAN, 2002; MITOV, 1986b, 2002, 2003). Hence the present work aims at summarizing both the published and unpublished data on the opilionid fauna of the Eastern Rhodopes (respectively of the Rhodopes as a whole), zoogeographically analyzing the resulting data, and estimating the conservation status of this animal group. It is clear that the work on revealing the species composition and the distribution of the representatives of the order Opiliones - an ancient and perfectly suitable for zoogeo- graphical investigations animal group (see EMELYANOV, 1974; GUÉORGUIEV, 1992) - will contribute significantly towards a better and more extensive characterization of this relatively poorly investigated region in Bulgaria. Material and methods The present work is based on material collected during the fieldtrips of many Bul- garian zoologists who visited the territory of the Eastern Rhodopes during the period 1982-2003. The material is deposited in the arachnological collection of the author and in the National Museum of Natural History, Sofia (NMNHS). The classification and nomencla- ture follow MARTENS (1978) and STARĘGA (1981) with one exception – the correct spelling “Zachaeus” (after CRAWFORD, 1992) is used instead of “Zacheus”. To facilitate a future comparison of the phenological data on the Opiliones from the Eastern Rhodopes with those from other regions, for every species data is given about the body length and the number of eggs in the egg reservoir (uterus internus). For comparative purposes the following new records for the Western Rhodopes are also included here: – Opilio dinaricus Šilhavý, 1938: Western Rhodopes: in the region of Peshtera, Dobra Voda Hut, 705-884 m, B.

MITOV Results Among the 182 specimens of Opiliones that were examined (32 ††, 43 ‡‡, 107 juv.), 11 new species for the fauna of the Eastern Rhodopes (marked with an asterisk in the text) were discovered (see Table 1). The following, already recorded by ŠILHAVÝ (1965), STARĘGA (1976), KARAMAN (2002), and MITOV (1986b, 2003) species and subspecies were con- firmed: Histricostoma drenskii, Paranemastoma radewi, Lacinius horridus, Opilio saxatilis, Rafal- skia olympica bulgarica, Zachaeus crista, and Egaenus convexus; for the four latter species new chorological data are provided. As a result, the opilionid fauna of the Eastern Rhodopes includes so far 24 species (included in 18 genera and 5 families) (see Table 1), or roughly 45% of the species currently known from Bulgaria (MITOV, 2003). The actual species list of the Rhodopes as a whole includes 33 species and subspecies (22 genera and 5 families) (ROEWER, 1956; KRA- TOCHVÍL, 1958; GUÉORGUIEV & BERON, 1962; ŠILHAVÝ, 1965; BERON & GUÉORGUIEV, 1967; STARĘGA, 1963, 1976; MARTENS, 1978; BERON, 1994; BERON & MITOV, 1996; KARAMAN, 2002; MITOV, 1986a, 1986b, 1988, 1995, 2002, 2003)1.

The place of cultural and natural sites in the vision of the local population for the development of the target region The extent to which the sites are recognized by the respondents is considered in the context of the overall vision of the local population for the development of the target region (Haskovo district). Cultural and historical heritage sites have a clearly defined place in the vision of the population as the second most important resource for the development of the target region with their potential for attracting visitors: - the cultural and historical sites are the second most frequently mentioned resource (30.6%), connected with the main development potential of the Haskovo district - after the land and the opportunities for development of agriculture (33.2%). - next to agriculture (58.8%), considered by the respondents as the most promising sector for the Haskovo region, tourism is regarded as the second (45%) and wine growing (22.8%) as the third most important sector for development. Regarding cultural heritage a major role is played by archaeological sites – finds from antiquity, excavations and archaeological remains (at the expense of, for example, architectural monuments): given average assessment scores of 1 to 7, where 7 is the highest score, archaeological monuments are very highly valued for their potential to attract tourists to the area - 6,02, which is the highest score among all other aspects - for architectural landmarks it is 5.81 and for local customs and traditions - 5.65.

It is the first museum in Bulgaria for contemporary history. According to its profile it is a comprehensive history museum and has the following departments: - Modern and Most Recent History Department - Ethnography Department - Arts Department - Petko Churchuliev Arts Gallery; - Affiliate - Penyo Penev House Museum - Department of Archaeology. Today it showcases artefacts from the Neolithic Age to modern times, displayed in four exhibition halls. 1 Museum of History town of Dimitrovgrad The hall entitled "Youth-brigade movement in Bulgaria" is one of a kind in Bulgaria, focusing on a complicated and controversial period of the country's recent past – the time frame 1945-1990. Brigade members' uniforms, flags, awards, photos depicting the daily life of youth brigade members, and other items reveal the history of this movement and immerse visitors in the spirit of the times. The Dimitrovgrad Hall reveals the construction of one of Bulgaria's youngest cities, which became a symbol of Socialism in the 1950s. The Archaeology Hall showcases artefacts testifying to the life in the settlements in Dimitrovgrad Municipality, some of which have had a continuous development since the Neolithic period (6th century BC) to the present day. Part of the museum's fund is known as the "Neolithic man" discovered in 2009 during archaeological rescue excavations of the medieval settlement in the Kar Dere locality near the village of Krum close to Dimitrovgrad.

    16. YÜZYIL ÖNCESİNDE DİMETOKA, KIZILDELİ VE BALABANLILAR 16. YÜZYIL ÖNCESİNDE DİMETOKA, KIZIL DELİ VE BALABANLILAR DIDYMOTEICHO, KIZILDELI AND BALABANS BEFORE 16. CENTURY Vatan Özgül1 ÖZET Dimetoka; Bizans, Osmanlı ve Alevi-Bektaşi tarihi açısından önemli mekânlardan biridir. Bunun yanı sıra Kızıl Deli ile özdeşleşmiş bir yer adıdır. Günümüzde Erzincan-Tunceli- Erzurum-Malatya sınırları içinde yaşayan Balaban Aşireti açısından da önem arz eden bir yerdir. Balabanlıların sözlü tarih geleneği içinde en başta vurgulanan bu yer, Balabanlıların Anadolu’ya göçmeden önce yaşadıkları mekân adı olarak zikredilmektedir. Balabanlılardan başka Dimetoka’dan geldiğini söyleyen bir başka topluluk bulunmamaktadır. Bu saptama Balabanlıları ilginç ve farklı kılmaktadır. Yaklaşık 4 yıl önce derlediğimiz bir sözlü tarih bilgisi bize, Balaban-Dimetoka bağlamını daha derinlemesine irdelemeye sürükleyen bir yapı sunmaktaydı. Balaban Aşireti’nin merkez köyü olan Pınarlıkaya’da (Hınzoru) büyüyen 1917 doğumlu Kahraman Özgül, günümüzde Kureyş Ocağı talibi olan Balabanlıların, geçmişte Kızıl Deli talibi olduğu bilgisini aktarmaktadır. Malatya’daki ve Dimetoka’daki Kızıl Deli kültlerinde mevcudiyetinden bahsedilen iki farklı ocak ve iki farklı tekke olgularından hareketle Kızıl Deli’nin tarihsel şahsiyet olarak saptanması noktasında önemli ve dikkat çekici sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Yine bu bağlamda Balabanlıların tarihine ışık tutabilecek bazı bulgular elde edilmiştir. Genel görüşün aksine Seyyid Ali ile Kızıl Deli’nin farklı şahsiyetler olabileceğine yönelik değerlendirmelere ulaşılmıştır. Son olarak 16. yüzyıl öncesi tüm Dimetoka köyleri irdelenmiş ve liste hâlinde sunulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Dimetoka, Malatya, Tenci, İriağaç, Aydın, Birgi, Alaşehir, Konya, Karaisalı, Kızıl Deli, Seyyid Ali Sultan, Ali Seydi, Balaban, Balabanlı, Balabanlar, Savcı Bey, Savcıoğlu, Fetret Devri, Peçenek, Kuman, Kıpçak, Pavlos, Bogomil.

Now, almost three months later, we can look back on an amazing experience. During our stay in Bulgaria we have met very enthusiastic and inspiring people and we got to experience the real Bulgarian rural life. We learned a lot about the culture here and the big differences with the Netherlands. It was an eye-opener to us that not everything is as easy here as it is in the Netherlands. But at the same time we experienced the richness of this country, especially the richness of the sun; the delicious, good food and the very healthy people. This experience is one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. It would not have been possible for us to go to Bulgaria without Frank Zanderink. Therefore we would like to thank him for all his help, support and feedback that we have received during the last three months.
