| | These are mostly cases when they were forced to use the term at times of ultimate danger for their homeland, Byzantium, in order to produce arguments in support of their claims on ancient Macedonia and to draw on its grandeur and might. | | | The first themes were set up in Asia Minor to facilitate waging the wars against the Persians and the Arabs, and later, also in the Balkans, for the campaigns against the Proto-Bulgarians and the Sclavinians. | | | For people who were imbued by humanistic ideas, these countries were veiled in mystery and were adorned in the imagination with the beauty of Antiquity and the attractiveness of Eastern exotics. |

| | The 1903 risings in Macedonia and Thrace - Anarchism in Bulgaria |
| | In late 1902 and early 1903 in Thrace village militias, the so-called "death squads", were set up to support the work of the insurrectionary militias and those engaged in agitation. | | | This piece is an excerpt from the book "National Liberation and Libertarian Federalism" (Natsionalnoto osvobozhdeniye i bezvlastniyat federalizum) by Georgi Khadzhiev, published by ARTIZDAT-5 in Sofia in 1992. | | | This is no wonder, because the Bulgarian anarchists linked their struggle so closely with the revolutionary movement for the liberation of the people of Macedonia and Thrace from foreign domination. |

| | In addition, 4,058 of the 4,273 Jews living in Eastern Macedonia and Western Thrace were also deported at that time, but this number does not include the dozens of others who were despatched to the death camps directly from the German-held zone of Orestiada-Soufli and other parts of Greece (particularly via Thessaloniki). | | | And the reasons for this terrible singularity are associated primarily with the policy of the Bulgarian authorities towards the global population of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. | | | Consequently, identified as they were with their Christian compatriots, they were subjected to the same programme of ethnic cleansing. |
