Are Bulgarians Europeans?

[Paulos Melas]

I see christov that you have contributed quite a few threads so far and suddenly you remembered my initial quotation.
After 2 weeks during which you have in fact participated very actively in this discussion I wonder why?

I just checked the tread - my postings are 3. If you think for 6 pages my participation is "active", so be it! You are very welcome to read them again, to finally understand what I've written! In order to help you I'll give you key-words: "tolerance" and "respect"!

It's OK.

You see, Paulos Melas, I come from a family which was very active in the 19th century in the fight again the Turkish sultan. The oldest time we remember was 1821, when almost all males where killed, but far not the last one. You surely can connect this date with your historical knowledge. Even so many years later, there are still stories the elderly people say about brave men, what happened here and there... And you know what? No one ever say a bad word about someone, for being Greek or Bulgarian or Turkish or whatever. One of the names I know since my childhood was Pavlos Melas, who's name you use now. Well, it is very well known he was on the other side than mine family was. Nevertheles he and all those people back in time were real men, who knew to respect each other and to look in the eyes, if you see what I mean. Can you imagine Pavlos Melas nowadays hiding under anonymity and writing in Internet insulting about other people? What do you think he would say to you?

Thanks God! you and I, (and here, as seldom I use it, I will write it with capital letters) WE are alive today - without a Turkish "fes" on our heads. Bulgaria and Greece are among the oldest european coutries, nowadays both EU members. It's obvious EU will function more and more as one. This is a process, which can be helped or disturbed by each of us. So, it is your turn to decide what will you do for OUR home.

Spare me the lecture please christov and the charge against the Turks.
Paulos Melas and the rest Macedonomachi fought not only the Turks but the Bulgarians as well.
For us Turks and Bulgarians are one and the same. And your beloved first cousins the skopians do not stop to remind us the Bulgarian threat, I am sorry thats the truth.
We built a future all together I agree.
Soon turkey will be part of this future as well.
But remember we may share a common courtyard, but not a same home

christov, cant you see hes a greek extremist, hates slavs and would side with a turk or shqiptar to exterminate us. so we have to stick together as slavs because we are a majority in the balkans and if united will rule that part of europe.

I didn't say anything against the Turks, I spoke about the sultan, can you understand the difference?

That is right.

Maybe for you H2O and H2SO4 is also one and same, but guess what: it is not.[quote=Paulos Melas;45619]And your beloved first cousins the skopians do not stop to remind us the Bulgarian threat, I am sorry thats the truth./QUOTE]Unfortunately that's right too, and I am deeply sorry for that!

I guess you mean Turkey as EU member, but what do you mean "soon"? 50 or 100 years? Surely I'll be not alive to see that time, but I wish it to you! God forbid! it will be a world full of "Berlin walls"!

It depends on the way you understand it - for me a "home" doesn't hang in the air as testicles. It stays firmly on the ground, it has everything: yard, house, even toilet and garbage. It's your choice which place do you prefer, but I'll tell you my opinion - we need them all! And as good we take care of them, as good we will have them.
