The 143rd anniversary of the April Uprising will be marked with a solemn rally on Tuesday night. The event will be held in the town of Klisura, South Bulgaria, whose residents played an important part during the April Uprising. Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev will greet the 61st Stryamska Mechanized Infantry Brigade and deliver a speech on occasion of the 143rd anniversary of the April Uprising. A commemorative evening will be held in the town of Koprivshtitsa as well. The April Uprising of 1876 is the culmination of the resistance of the Bulgarians against the five-century Ottoman Rule and gave impetus to the events that led to the liberation of Bulgaria in 1878.
