Balgarianovinite.com Prof. Atanas Semov of Sofia University, Corresponding Member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS), spoke at an event here on Monday at which the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) launched the latest issue of its LIK magazine and BAS presented the latest issue of the Journal of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, both dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the April 1876 Uprising.
Semov described the two publications as a combination of an academic and fictional text “tasked with conveying the memory of that heroic age and a clear idea of duty to the memory of history, to national awareness, and to Bulgaria’s future for which our ancestors laid their lives 150 years ago”.
He acknowledged the activity of BTA Director General Kiril Valchev in recent years in asserting Bulgarianess, history, memory, and the value texture of public discourse. He thanked the BAS management for contributing to the observance of the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising on a countrywide scare and also noted the very substantial role played in this respect by Sofia University, in the person of its Rector, Prof. Georgi Valchev. “The activity of BTA deserves appreciation because it is untypical of the Bulgarian media outlets that are often preoccupied with the ad-lib buzz of the day,” Semov pointed out.
“It is important to know that, in addition to the feat, self-sacrifice and grand ideal of Koprivshtitsa, Panagyurishte, Klisura, Perushtitsa, Batak and many other focal points of national upsurge in Southern Bulgaria, there are such focal points of dignity, self-sacrifice and idealism in Northern Bulgaria, too: Batoshevo, Kravenik, Novo Selo, Sevlievo, Gabrovo, Veliko Tarnovo, Vratsa,” the Correspondent Member said. In his opinion, the 150th anniversary of the uprising should get across an exceedingly important message: Bulgarians are a people with an exceedingly eventful and proud history, a coherent nation with exceedingly numerous merits which therefore deserves a bright future ahead.”
Semov has been deeply impressed of what he has learnt from the hundreds of events dedicated to the 150th anniversary countrywide that have been organized “despite the government that has been running Bulgaria during the last year and its conspicuous inaction”. He specified that these events have been arranged by public non-governmental organizations, without political interference or hindrance and without State aid except such provided by the Ministry of Culture. “BTA Magazine, Academy of Sciences Journal Convey Heroic Age Memory,” Prof. Atanas Semov Says 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-04-20 14:15:24 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
