The April Uprising raises many important questions about the Bulgarian destiny and Bulgarian existence, said Boyko Vassilev, host of the Panorama weekly programme on the Bulgarian National Television. He participated at a conference dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the 1876 April Uprising at the BTA National Press Club in Vratsa on Thursday.
The April Uprising raises the eternal theme that Bulgarians can accomplish many things if they believe in themselves, Vassilev emphasized, pointing out that the conference is not just a historical initiative, but aims to remind Bulgarians that the April Uprising sets a framework even for nowadays. "When do we rise up, what do we believe in, what gives us security, do we believe in miracles, do we believe in external support or do we believe in ourselves", he commented. Marking the anniversary of the uprising also poses the eternal topic of the national saviour Bulgarians keep waiting for, Vassilev stressed.
Similar forums will also be organized at BTA press clubs in the centres of the remaining revolutionary districts of the April Uprising - Veliko Tarnovo, Sliven, and Panagyurishte. The conferences are part of the joint initiative of BTA, Bulgarian National Television, and Bulgarian National Radio, titled 14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe. The initiative aims to commemorate anniversaries of Bulgarian historical events that have had an impact on shared European history.
The 14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe programme includes anniversaries through 2032, when 1,400 years will be marked since the founding of Old Great Bulgaria.
