The destruction of the Thracian Bulgarians is not just a memory, but a faith, a conscience and a blood bond to our ancestors and our identity. Our conviction, belief and urge today is that we must not compromise our security and our ability to protect our home and our children, President Rumen Radev said at the commemoration dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the Destruction of the Thracian Bulgarians. The commemoration took place in front of the Thracian memorial complex with pantheon ossuary in Madzharovo. 

‘’The Pantheon Ossuary is one of the sacred places in Bulgaria that preserved the tragic memory of the Thracian Bulgarians massacre, of the thousands brutally killed by the ferocious bashibozuk (mercenary soldiers belonging to irregular troops of the Ottoman Empire), of the innocent martyrs and the countless impoverished refugees from Adrianople (Edirne) and Aegean Thrace’’, Bulgaria’s head of state noted.
