Posted by Nikolov on September 26, 2001, 9:27:49 Sofia, - According to Macedonias official doctrine, the Republic of Macedonia is populated by a nation that has nothing in common with Bulgarian nation. Given that this country claims that Macedonian nation has no links with Bulgarian nation, it should hand in all churches and monasteries built by Bulgarians, Sofias daily Trud said. Makfax news agency quotes Trud daily as saying some 700 churches and 74 monasteries in Macedonian cities of Bitola, Resen, Prilep, Ohrid and Skopje had been built by Bulgarians. Trud daily gives no details on how Macedonia is to hand over or return the churches and monasteries that are allegedly in Bulgarian possession. Whether Macedonia should pull down these Bulgarian churches and transfer them to Bulgarias territory in pieces, or Bulgaria might come to Macedonia and take-over the control on these places of worship allegedly built by Bulgarians. The story run by Sofias daily Trud is a reaction to a story run by Skopjes daily Utrinski Vesnik, saying that Macedonia will call upon Bulgaria to return the plundered treasure. Trud daily acknowledges that thousands of valuable objects of cultural heritage, originating from Aegean and Vardar Macedonia have been placed in Bulgarian museums. This daily claims these valuable objects have been brought by some 600.000 refugees, who had emigrated from Macedonia into Bulgaria within the period of 1878-1944. Trud daily also acknowledges that a significant part of these priceless objects had been collected by military ethnographers of Bulgarian Army during the World War I, some of these objects had been brought by Bulgarian scientists who had been visiting Macedonia on various occasions. Notwithstanding the fact that these objects, originating from Aegean and Vardar Macedonia are currently in Bulgaria, Trud daily claims that these objects are part of Bulgarian history. However, this daily seems to have forgotten the possibility to return these objects to the original owner. Nonetheless, Trud daily has not forgotten to ask for returning of 700 churches and 74 monasteries.
Bulgaria: Trud daily says Macedonia should return Bulgarian churches and monasteries.
