A conference marking the 150th anniversary of the Bulgarian April Uprising against Ottoman rule is taking place 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. The event is attended by several prominent figures, including BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, Sofia University Rector Georgi Valchev, Bulgarian National Radio Director General Milen Mitev, local official Panagyurishte Mahyor Zhelyazko Gagov, Museum of History Director Atanas Shopov, and theatre director Bina Haralampieva.
Journalist Boyko Vasilev, host of “Panorama” on Bulgarian National Television, will moderate the proceedings. These conferences dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the uprising are situated within the “14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe” initiative. This effort, a collaboration between BTA, the National Television, and the National Radio, seeks to commemorate significant milestones in Bulgarian history that have contributed to the broader narrative of European history.
The discussions aim to educate the public about these pivotal moments in the nation’s past.
