Bulgaria

Happy 29 October Republic Day to Türkiye! 🇧🇬🤝🇹🇷 As Bulgaria, we join you in celebrating this special day with genuine warmth. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk not only built modern Türkiye but also remained a true friend of the Bulgarian people until the end of his life. His words still touch us: “Türkiye and Bulgaria must be friends. Whoever is against Bulgaria is also against Türkiye.” May the spirit of friendship and mutual respect he cherished continue to strengthen the bond between our nations. Wishing you a joyful Republic Day filled with pride, peace, and prosperity. Long live the Republic of Türkiye!

Today is Dimitrovden the Feast of St. Demetrius! 🇧🇬❄️ In Bulgarian tradition, this day marks the arrival of winter. Legend says the first snowflakes fall from the saint’s white beard, while St. George brings summer and St. Demetrius brings the cold. A beloved name day for thousands of Dimitar, Mitko, Dimitrina and many more. Family gatherings, church services and centuries old folklore come alive. Wishing everyone who celebrates a warm and joyful Dimitrovden! ❤️

Press freedom is a cornerstone of any democracy. We strongly condemn the use of violence against journalists. Journalists must be able to ask questions and do their work safely and without fear. Free and independent media strengthen Bulgaria and every open society.
