MANNING and ROMAN SMAL-STOCKI BOOKMAN ASSOCIATES :: New York Copyright © 1960 by Bookman Associates Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 60-8549 MANUFACTURED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY UNITED PRINTING SERVICES, INC. NEW HAVEN, CONN. Foreword This outline of modern Bulgarian literature is the result of an exchange of memories of Bulgaria between the authors some years ago in New York. We both have visited Bulgaria many times, we have had many personal friends among its scholars and statesmen, and we feel a deep sympathy for the tragic plight of this long-suffering Slavic nation with its industrious and hard-working people. We both feel also that it is an injustice to Bulgaria and a loss to American Slavic scholarship that, in spite of the importance of Bulgaria for the Slavic world, so little attention is paid to the country's cultural contributions. This is the more deplorable for American influence in Bulgaria was great, even before World War I. Many Bulgarians were educated in Robert Col- lege in Constantinople and after World War I in the American College in Sofia, one of the institutions supported by the Near East Foundation. Many Bulgarian professors have visited the United States in happier times. So it seems unfair that Ameri- cans and American universities have ignored so completely the development of the Bulgarian genius and culture during the past century.

  • Diplomatic and Journalistic Comments on the Agreement Between the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Bulgaria in 1904
    Diplomatic and Journalistic Comments on the Agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Bulgaria in 1904 Valentin KITANOV Assoc. Prof. Ph.D., South-West University “Neofit Rilski” Department of History, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. E-mail: [email protected] Geliş Tarihi: 04.01.2019 Kabul Tarihi: 07.06.2019 ABSTRACT KITANOV, Valentin, Diplomatic and Journalistic Comments on the Agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Bulgaria in 1904, CTAD, Year 15, Issue 30 (Fall 2019), pp. 85-108. Bulgarian-Ottoman relations from the end of the XIX-th and the beginning of the XX-th century played an important part in the process of transformation of the European Ottoman heritage into the modern state and political system of the Balkans. The Agreement between the two states from 1904 is a significant page in the history of those relations. The agreement entered into between the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Bulgaria solved a number of problems at a moment crucial for the development of the Macedonian Question. The agreement was welcomed by the official diplomacy and was interpreted as a step forward to affirming the peace in the European Southeast. In the predominant part of political, diplomatic and journalists’ comments, the emphasis is on the outcomes of the agreement for the Bulgarian state. As far as European opinion-making circles were concerned, through that agreement Bulgaria turned into a guarantor - state for conducting the Murzsteg Reforms. That led the country to a higher-reputation level compared to its neighbour-states Greece and Serbia in terms of the Macedonian Question.
