A conference marking the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising against Ottoman rule is being held today, April 30, at the Museum of History in Panagyurishte. This forum is part of a broader series of discussions organized by the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) to stimulate public dialogue surrounding the historic anniversary. Attendees at the event include BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, Sofia University Rector Georgi Valchev, Bulgarian National Radio Director General Milen Mitev, local official Panagyurishte Mahyor Zhelyazko Gagov, the Museum of History Director Atanas Shopov, and theatre director Bina Haralampieva.
Journalist Boyko Vasilev, host of the program “Panorama” on Bulgarian National Television, will moderate the proceedings. These conferences commemorating the 150th anniversary of the uprising fall under the “14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe” initiative. This project, a collaboration between BTA, the National Television, and the National Radio, aims to highlight significant milestones in Bulgarian history and their influence on the broader European historical narrative.
The event serves as a platform for scholarly and public engagement regarding this pivotal period in Bulgarian history.
