Balgarianovinite.com An audio-visual installation “Panagyurishte 1876 – a Sanctuary of the National Spirit!” was unveiled here on Friday. The ribbon was cut by President Iliana Iotova, Panagyurishte Mayor Zhelyazko Gagov, Panagyurishte History Museum Director Atanas Shopov, donor Dimitar Tsotsorkov, and Municipal Council Chairman Ivan Lalov.
The event was part of Panagyurishte’s celebrations of 150 years since the April Uprising.
In her speech, Iotova said that the legacy left to Bulgarians by the participants in the April Uprising is to love the homeland and to know that, no matter what happens, the people will endure as long as they remain united. She added that there can be no small or large nations; there are only united and divided ones. “And if we want to move forward and develop our country, if we want Bulgaria to have its rightful place today among those European nations that Bulgarian revolutionaries dreamed of, we must stand together,” Iotova added.
Panagyurishte History Museum Director Shopov said that the April Uprising is a symbol of faith and hope, of the end of slavery and the beginning of boundless joy. History has assigned the Panagyurishte region a significant place in the struggle, which makes it a sanctuary of the national spirit, he noted. The Panagyurishte History Museum, with financial support from the Lachezar Tsotsorkov Foundation, has created its first-of-its-kind audiovisual installation, Shopov added.
Panagyurishte Mayor Zhelyazko Gagov thanked the representatives of the Lachezar Tsotsorkov Foundation for preserving Panagyurishte’s heritage and for their donation. He noted that philanthropy preserves the homeland and its memory.
Dimitar Tsotsorkov, sonn of Lachezar Tsotsorkov, said it was an honour and a privilege for him to attend. “I wish there were more people in the government and administration who would set an example and demonstrate their commitment through action. Success in Bulgaria must be based on the rule of law and transparency,” he added.
Irina Boteva, Chief Curator of the Panagyurishte History Museum, announced during the event that the Lachezar Tsotsorkov Foundation will be awarded a certificate and a plaque as donors of exceptional significance.
Asarel Medet AD Executive Director Nikolay Peltekov said that the Lachezar Tsotsorkov Foundation is transforming museum work. Saturday marks the opening of the Alley of Freedom near the Oborishte area, which has been restored by the company. Peltekov emphasized that the alley was built for the 100th anniversary of the April Uprising and has now been restored as an anniversary donation initiative.
