The first known civilization in the region was that of the Thracians, whose culture reached a peak in the sixth century B.C. Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia. -

FOR THE BELENE SITE A review of the various costs reveals that huge amounts were paid by the Bulgarian taxpayer for illogical and meaningless activities, considering the failure to realise a functioning plant. Dismantling the existing buildings, structures and parts cost 199 million BGN / 101 million euro. Architectural engineering of the project by Worley Parsons and Bulgarian subcontractor Risk Engineering cost 393 million BGN / 200 million euro.

Coping Behaviour of Ethnic Turks Against State Atrocities During the Jivkov Regime in Bulgaria
1 COPING WITH STATE TERROR: COPING BEHAVIOUR OF ETHNIC TURKS AGAINST STATE ATROCITIES DURING THE JIVKOV REGIME IN BULGARIA Prof. Dr. Beğlan TOĞROL ÖZET: Çeşitli baskı (stress) durumlarına karşı başa çıkma (coping) yöntemleri in san psikolojisinin en önemli konularından birisidir. Bu konunun kişisel düzeyde ele alınmasıyla ilgili olarak birçok teknikler üretilmiş, çaresizliğe karşı alınabi lecek ve hayat kalitesini yükseltebilecek önlemler tartışıla gelmiştir. Ancak, bir toplumun başka bir toplum üzerindeki baskılarıyla ezilen toplumun, silahlı çatış ma dışındaki karşı koyma yöntemleriyle ilgili sistematik araştırmalar, yok değil se bile çok azdır. Yüzyılımızda teknolojiye bağlı ilerlemeler, bu ilerlemelerin in sanlığa getirdikleri imkan ve mutlulukların yamsıra insanlığın saldırganlık insi yaklarının da daha dakik ve korkunç şekillere dönüşebileceğini göstermiştir. Da ha Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nı takiben ve İkinci Dünya Savaşıyla birlikte ve onu ta kip eden sürede bazı politik sistemlerde devlet eliyle organize edilen ve bazı azınlık gruplarına karşı yöneltilen çeşitli baskı sistemleri, Buchenwald, Ausc hwitz, Gulag Takım Adaları, Kore esir kampları ve Belene gibi çeşitli terör odaklarını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bunlar arasında bilhassa Nazi Almanya'sında olan lar, Savaşı müteakip çeşitli açılardan ele alınarak incelenmiştir. Jivkov'un Bulga ristan'ında olanlar ise, bilhassa 1980'lerden sonra Türk toplumuna yöneltilen baskı ve zulümler, Nazi Almanya'sında uygulananlarla pek çok bakımlardan benzerlik göstermesine rağmen batılı bilim
