Lecture of the President of the Republic of Bulgaria at American University in Bulgaria, Blagoevgrad, 13 November 2013

The civil war in Syria has been going on for already a third year in a row. The bloodshed claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people and million of Syrians were expelled from their homes. A proud people with a rich history and culture currently experiences hardship and pain. The inflow of refugees from Syria has been provoked by a conflict that destroys millions of human fates. People escaping from the evil of war are coming over to Bulgaria.

The major topics that President Rosen Plevneliev and President Petar Stoyanov (1997-2002) and the National Assembly speakers since the onset of the transition period on 10 November 1989 discussed at their meeting were overcoming the division in society, the escalation of hatred and the serious confrontation and interpersonal wars between politicians. The people who accepted the Head of State’s invitation were Alexander Yordanov, academician Blagovest Sendov, Yordan Sokolov, professor Ognyan Gerdzhikov, Borislav Velikov, Georgi Pirinski and Tsetska Tsacheva.
