İngiltere’nin Arap İsyanı Tertibi (1914-1918): İsyanın Cumhuriyet Dönemi Hükümet Programlarındaki Dış Politika Yansımaları

Author(s): İsmail KÖSE / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 14/2017

Arabian peninsula was brought under Ottoman rule after the conquest of Egypt by Sultan Selim the Grim in 1517. From this date onward it was ruled by Ottomans about 400 years. The only exception of Ottoman rule, were Egypt’s invasion by French under Napoleon Bonaparte (1798-1801) and later annexation by Britain in 1882. Ottoman existence in Arabian peninsula ended due to the revolts during the first years of World War First. Arab revolts were the last uprising against the Ottomans that they had to face with. The revolts were plotted during the most difficult days of World War First during the Dardanelles Wars, because of which Turkish soldiers confronted considerable losses and damages in Arabia. Therefore after the very foundation of Turkish Republic, World War First experiences, fueled by politicized Arabian nationalism also paved the way to mistrust of Turkish decision makers. Despite a few periodical betterments of the relations between both sides due to hesitant approaches, for a long time it could not be possible to establish mutual confidence building measures in diplomatic relations.

Нови документи за големия род Пулиеви

Author(s): Rositsa Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3-4/2015

The aim of the report is to inform the scientific community about a new, previously unknown and very interesting collection of documents chronologically and thematically related to the recent history of Bulgaria. The archive was created by Todor Hristov Puliev (1837-1913), a successor to and representative of the great Pulievs’ family from Karlovo. After his death the documents were kept by the family of a politician well known in the past Theodor Theodorov, whose granddaughter Nadezhda Teodorova donated the archive to the archive collection of BHA. The report consists of two parts – the author’s text and 13 documents. In the first part the author provides biographical information about Todor Hr. Puliev, presents his donations and the kinship ties of the Pulievs. Then she makes a review of the documents arranging them by type, origin and content. The archive is a treasure trove for researchers of the post-liberation history. Thematically it contains a wealth of data testifying to persons and events, problems of everyday life, business, mentality and culture of the social stratum to which Todor Puliev belonged. This is evident from the documents selected for publication.

La politique de la Bulgarie visant à stimuler le peuplement du pays et se reflétant dans la législation Bulgare après la libération (1879–1912)

Author(s): Mario Aleksandrov / Language(s): French Issue: 3-4/2015

The paper reveals the formation of the concept in Bulgaria’s laws in the period 1878–1912, related to the stimulating the settlements in the country. Starting with the Constitution, the author examines some basic laws connected with the implementation of this aim such as the Law on Population of Uninhabited Lands in Bulgaria (1880), the several versions of the Law of Acquisition of Bulgarian Citizenship as well as the legislation connected with the settling of the refugees. Particular groups of laws were targeted to different categories of population abroad with regard to attracting them to the Bulgarian Principality. For the realization of this policy the legislators set out mainly encouraging measures of economic and political nature, with the dominance of those of economic character. The main tendency in reflecting this political concept in the envisaged laws was to gradually expand the opportunities for attracting potential settlers to the country. Nevertheless, there was a marked inconsistency in the implementation of this trend by the government. This was mainly due to the lack of convenience among the ruling circles about the necessity of this type of policy and its enforcement through the existing legislation in the country at that time.

Author(s): Kresa Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5-6/2015

Празникът на освобождението в българския национален календар

Author(s): Svetlozar Eldarov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2016

In 1990, The Day of Liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman Yoke was proclaimed a national holiday, which is honoured on 3 March. On this date (19 February after the old Julian calendar), in 1878, the Peace Treaty of San Stefano was signed, which put an end to the Russian-Turkish War. A quarter of a century already, instead of playing the function of a symbol of national unity, this national holiday turns into an arena of acute confrontation between the political powers in the country, polarized between euroatlantism and russophilia. The retrospective overview of the commemoration of this holiday of the Bulgarian national calendar since 1878, provided by the paper, reveals that it has always been so. During each relatively detached period of Bulgarian historical development, the holiday on 19 February/3 March has always been used as an instrument to split Bulgarian society and State between East and West.

Спорен ли е въпросът за спорните църкви в Македония

Author(s): Rositsa Lelyova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2016

The years after the Ilinden Uprising put to the test the overall work of the Exarchate in Macedonia. One of the levers by which the Ottoman authority tried to sabotage the process of consolidation of the Bulgarian element in the provinces was the principle of preserving the ecclesiastical status quo. After the uprising many villages started leaving the Patriarchate and passing under the jurisdiction of the Exarchate. That was an increasing trend which pushed to the fore the question of the ownership of churches and schools. For many years the problem remained unsolved by the government, whose policy was to maintain the idea on confrontation between patriarchists and exarchists. And after the Young Turk revolution of July 1908 the issue remained on the agenda and the government continued to apply the familiar tactic of delay and transfer of responsibility in this case to the parliament. The decision was taken as late as the summer of 1910 with the adoption of the Law of contentious churches and schools. Although its provisions did not fully meet the legitimate expectations of Bulgarians, they regulated a solution to a problem which albeit artificially created and maintained by the government was quite pressing for the population in the provinces.

ТРУДОВИТЕ МИГРАЦИИ НА БЪЛГАРИТЕ ОТ ЮГОЗАПАДНА МАКЕДОНИЯ В НАЧАЛОТО НА ХХ В.

Author(s): Naoum Kaychev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

The article, based on documents from Bulgarian Exarchate’s archive and other sources, analyses the trends of temporary labour migration of Bulgarians from the region of Kastoria and the adjacent areas of Florina, Bitola, Prespa and Ohrid. While the traditional patterns involved destinations within the Ottoman empire or newly established states Romania, Bulgaria or Greece, at the turn of the century the flow was gradually directed also towards North America. For example, in 1911 38% of migration from Kastoria area was to the New World, 34% – to other regions of the Ottoman empire, including its capital Constantinople, and 22% – to the Kingdom of Bulgaria. The local village or micro-regional factors greatly influenced the migrants’ choice. However, the labour migration to both traditional and new destinations until the Balkan wars of 1912–1913 was temporary (up to several years), and involved only working-age men, between 50% and 80% of them in most of South West Macedonia.

Българо-полски културни и научни връзки през XIX–XX век на базата на документални източници от Научния архив на БАН

Author(s): Gabriela Vaptzarova,Darina Ilieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2015

The history of Bulgarian-Polish relations from the late 19th and early 20th centuries is quite naturally a subject of study by the scientific community due to some similarities in the destiny of the two nations, full of dramatic struggle for the assertion of independence and identity. From this period and especially after the mid-nineteenth century, when Bulgarians and Poles went through a period of national revival, emerged also feelings of empathy and mutual liking that are still alive today. We focus our attention on the study of a problem: on the basis of sources from the scientific archive of BAS to see how is presented the history of the Bulgarian-Polish scientific relations during the past hundred years in more or less known documentary evidence. The rich source base of the academic fund offers abundant material about the contacts between the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Polish Academy of Sciences, the election of scientists from both countries for foreign members, for their personal relationships and joint contributions. The paper outlines the key benchmarks that could orient researchers on the topic for a future study of the variegated documentary heritage.

Montenegrin-Bulgarian relations before and during the First Balkan War

Author(s): Aleksandar Stamatović / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/2023

This paper deals with Montenegrin-Bulgarian relations before the First Balkan War that Montenegro and Bulgaria waged against Turkey together with their allies Serbia and Greece. Montenegrin-Bulgarian relations went from 1878 to 1912, mainly became better and better. These two states had no territorial or global conceptual conflicts of interest. Both were aware that they would have to go to war with Turkey to liberate the Balkans from five centuries of Ottoman occupation. This concept had an emotional character. Unlike the relations between the two countries, both were Slavic, so it was insisted on that detail, which was promoted by the mutual protector and ally Russia. The unfolding of events at the end of the First Balkan War, and immediately after it, as well as the fact that Montenegro was ethnically closer to Serbia than Bulgaria, committed it to go to war against Bulgaria in 1913, although Montenegro did not benefit from that war.

“BOSANSKO PITANJE” U EVROPI – JUČER, DANAS, SUTRA

Author(s): Sedad Bešlija / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 101/2023

Zašto je važno danas govoriti o sudbini Bosne i Hercegovine? Na ovo pitanje vjerovatno postoji mnoštvo različitih odgovora. Za nas primarni razlog leži u činjenici da je borba između dobra i zla vječna. Zato što je pitanje savremenih ljudskih prava na pravom ispitu upravo u Bosni. Zato što se u Bosni vodi borba između ideje civilizacije i antifašizma, s jedne, i fašizma i islamofobije, s druge strane. Zato što je Bosna model suživljenja ljudi različitih i slojevitih identiteta. Zato što je Bosna geografija na kojoj se uči historija, uzimaju se lekcije i poruke za danas i za budućnost. Zato što se na “bosanskom pitanju” pojavljuju licemjerje i dvostruki standardi onih koji se diče epitetom “nosilaca civilizacijskih vrijednosti”. Konačno, zato što je budućnost Bosne, ustvari, budućnost Evrope, svijeta i čovječanstva.
