защо няма звук ?

[BulgariaXXVek]

Thanks for your interest. The note, up to the right, explains:

Този монтаж с архивни кадри съдържа официална пропаганда. В памет на жертвите по-голямата част от първоначалния звук е заглушен.

This is a compilation that includes official propaganda.

Out of respect for the victims most of the original sound has been muted.

[firedragonv92]

@dushanostoich I did NOT understand WHY is this video MUTE? Is it part of the history or not? If so, show it as it is! If not it should be considered as fake and propaganda and that is why it is mute.

[BulgariaXXVek]

This video has been muted out of respect for the victims of the Communist repression campaign. The sound, with the victims' voices, is available on request, provided it's treated with dignity. One day it will find its way into the Museum. Thanks for your interest in this channel.

[blcnmms]

@dushanostoich из-за того что, у винных нет не чего сказать кроме лжей . то что было в эти времена было позором болгарской власти . Я не обвиню всех болгаров конечно не все были виноватами но они молчали когда видели эту попытку геноцида турков и муслуманов . Болгарцы быстро забыли 500 лет они жили вмести с турками и не потеряли сваю культуру благодаря тому что ,Турки некогда питались уничтожить болгорскую культуру , а если хотели бы, сделали бы .

[feradz]

I remember! We were on this convoy shown at the beginning of the clip. It was awful.

[vladkodelov]

турчовете били изпъдени от българия а тия които останали трябвало да сменят името си....това са деяния на един болен човек,,,да причинява такова нещо на тия хора заради нещо което се е случило преди повече от 6 века..това е просто нехуманно

[sandmanvd]

Tova sa fakti. No za kogo glasuvat tezi hora sega po vreme na izbori-za Ahmed Dogan.A toi vleze v koaliciq sas Stani6ev-siinat na tozi ministar deto gi e izselval.Eto tova e mnogo,mnogo po sramno i nerazbiraemo za men kato bulgarin.Po slu4ainost i men BKP iska6e da me izseli i nikoga ne sam glasuval za neq.A tova da glasuva6 dobrovolno za pala4ite si ne go razbiram.

[00mrk09]

Комунизмът е бил един тъмен период. Радвам се, че не съм била родена...Жалко е, че една теория на социален утопизъм се е използвала с такива ужасни цели и по такъв изкривен начин. Както всъщност става с всичко, когато попадне в мръсни ръце...

[zaho87]

Аз съм бил роден тогава, но имам бегли спомени. Донякъде гледахме да причиним на турците това което ни правиха на нас 500 години. Но аз не съжалявам за нито една капка от историята ни, срамна или не. Това е наследството на нашият народ и трябва да се пази.

[ChewingGun]

I am sorry for all that the Bulgarian state caused to its citizen from Turkish origin! There are many in Bulgaria who think that it is a shame for this to happen in the 20th century!

WE ARE SORRY

[ChanAsparuh]

Аз лични мисля че не е правилно,но правилно ли е 500 години мачения и потурчване или колко от тези така наречени турци са наистина турци в България и в западна турция са си българи мохамедани

[bgturk]

Its really hard to appreciate the magnitude of what had happened, but this video does a good job of capturing it.

All the roads leading to Kapitan Andreevo were filled with kilometer after kilometer of refugees columns, made up of people fleeing their homes. This was the first biggest displacement of people since World War II - 300,000 people were forced out. It was overshadowed by the war in Yugoslavia in the 90s, but before that it was unprecedented in both ferocity and magnitude.

[flauntit666]

Please, self-righteousness and bias have no place in the history books. It's absurd to attempt to compare what happened in Bulgaria to WWII or Yugoslavia - you'll get in a lot of trouble if you do.

[erhan7332]

bulgarians  an antic turkic nation but now slavic...they couldnt save their nation..

[lekotar]

Аз съм българин! Не съм просто раса, история, религия, култура или политическа идея. Аз съм и много повече. Аз съм българин и докато съм жив ще е така.

[QwxRsm]

Bulgarian, historical Turk people, and now slavs.. i blame zhivkov regime

[devulboy1]

Shame on the 1980's Zhivkov regime for orchestrating a campaign of ethnic hatred and humiliation against Muslims and Turks in Bulgaria. This was before the civil wars in former Yugoslavia (1990's) caused by the same mentality of "us versus them" between closely-related peoples. The Bulgarian nationalist mood in the 1980s was basically to rid itself of Turkish influences, including anyone who practiced the Islamic faith. It reminds me of the Nazis' anti-Semitic campaigns in 1930's Germany. +

[mck426]

I agree completely.

[djbran79]

Благодаря ви че споделяте толкова интересни кадри с света,и бих искал ако е възможно да пуснете "Bulgaria for the Bulgarians", 1984-89 със озвучението му защото останах с впечатлението че нарочно е заглушен.

Ако имате възможност моля да го направите.Всичко хубаво ви желая,жив и здрав да сте.

[TheodoraMladenova]

The Bulgars were a very small portion of the population. Nonetheless, they did establish and police the country. Even their families, however, were soon ethnically Slavic.

[ilian51378]

Actually, there are other theories that suggest that Bulgars were in fact many and that was the reason why they were able to rule over the slavs and call the country Bulgaria. Do no forget that the tribe of Asparukh was not the only Bulgar tribe that settled in the region. One of his brothers brought his people in the region of Macedonia around the same time also. It just doesn't make sense for a small number of people to control such a vast territory as the Bulgars did during certain periods...

[bg1912]

So Bulgarians aren't just 'slavicized Turks', they are a blend of Bulgars and Slavs, as well as some other peoples... As for 'influenced by slavic culture' - the Cyrillic Alphabet, the Slavic Alphabet, was designed and introduced in Medieval Bulgaria! Its purpose was to unite the Bulgars and the Slavs... One of the reasons why Bulgaria became Christian was also this - to unite the Bulgars and the Slavs, some of whom were already Christian.

[bg1912]

Modern Bulgarians are the decendants of mostly peoples that settled in the Balkans in the 4-8 centuries . The proto-Bulgarians (Bulgars) were either Turkic or Iranic people - most probably Turkic. They, however, weren't the majority of the population - the majority were Slavs... The Bulgars gave the organization of the new country - its elite adn military. Later the aristocracy became more mixed (Slavo-Bulgar) - that's when the modern Bulgarian people were born...

[novozagorec]

Тодор Живков ни покри със срам!нито съм го избирал за президен,нито съм искал прекръстване,покръстване или други перверзии..

До всички пострадали:комунизма изгони половин милион турци и 2 милона българи от България!Всички сме жертви но аз ще кажа на турците-ИЗВИНЯВАЙТЕ !

[cyrix81]

a Bulgarian man with dignity!!!

thank you very much!

and i do apologize for the history which pained long years on bulgarian ppl cause ottoman emperrior...

[vlezz]

Наистина срамно е това дело за нас българите, надявам се че изселниците няма да възпитат децата си с лоши чувства към нас, все пак това не е решено от народа а няколко прости кратуни.

[huskytail]

First, who do you refer as "you"? If you think I am Turkish or even Muslim, you are wrong. I am just a person who lived near Bulgarian refugees from Thrace and Macedonia, near Bulgarian Muslims and near the Turkish minority. So I saw the immense pain of everyone, the one of those who were chased from Greece and Turkey and the one of those chased from Bulgaria. It's the same, it's just the pain of ordinary people which are broken forever.

[petrichanin]

Let us be impartial and fair!

The changing of the names of the so called "bulgarian turks" was very bad action.

BUT the turks were not forced to leave Bulgaria!!!! Our communist leader Todor Zhivkov said in a TV program: WHOEVER WANTS CAN GO IN TURKEY FOR A TRIP OR FOR PERMANENT!!! the turks went out from Bulgaria by their own will! and most of them come back later! STOP MANIPULATIONS!

[huskytail]

I understand you stance but it's very easy to say "by their own will". That's the very basics of terror. You terrorise a population and when the population is afraid that worse will come, you say- you can go away. Of course they will go away. No need to kill many in order to terrorise. Of course there weren't enormous physical victims, and thank God, but none of those people would leave their homes, lands, the graves of their ancestors if they weren't afraid more is coming.

[bgturk]

If a soldier comes to your house, and points a gun at you, you too will leave "voluntarily" and "by your own will".

[bgturk]

Many of them were forced to leave. Some families, including people that I know, were given an ultimatum to leave in 24 hours.

[bg1912]

We are sorry for what happened, this period was the greatest fall of modern Bulgaria. The state was all out against a group of its own citizens. If one thinks about it, the whole act of the "Revival" Process shows only two things - WEAKNESS and FEAR... The communist dictatorship was going down and these kind of policies only show its ineptitude.

[jtrain2nd2none]

Thanks for posting this video which gives people the actual footage of Bulgaria's forced expulsion of 310,000 Bulgarian Turks in 1989. What a travesty it was. At least now the Bulgarian government is treating its Turkish citizens better. I'm glad to see Ahmed Dogan's Turkish political party is one of the partners in Bulgaria's ruling coalition government. I'm also glad to see the Bulgarian government strongly supports Turkey's bid to join the EU. Bulgaria and Turkey will always been intertwined

[huskytail]

Ahem Dogan worked with the ex-State security agency. He is one of those who permitted the Bulgarian communist party to have reasons to justify this monstrosity. He is as guilty as them as he worked FOR them. Nowadays he is manipulating the Turkish population and thus he can steal from everyone, along with his friends the ex-communists who are on power now. I have many friends from the Turkish minority and those who don't live in Bulgaria or Turkey HATE, more than anything, Ahmed Dogan!

Възродителния процес е поредната гнусна и долна проява на комунягите, които настройват едни срещу други българи и турци за години напред. Мен също ме е срам от 'Възродиелния' процес, а още повече ме срам от това че НИКОЙ НЕ Е БИЛ ОСЪДЕН след като България се 'демократизира'... След като избиха елита на България през 1944-48, комунягите тръгнаха да се правят националисти. Единственото хубаво нещо е че всичко свърши само с това, а не стана нещо като в някои съседни нам страни.

Разбирам болката ви, като говоря с приятели преживели това и те не искат да говорят. Но ние, останалите, имаме морален дълг да пазим паметта на пострадалите! Комунистите унищожиха десетки хиляди българи физически, милиони- психически, включително стотици хиляди наши съграждани от турското малжинство. Ние трябва да помним и да искаме сметка!

[BulgariaXXVek]

Bulgaria XXVek is a channel for all who'd like to share material about the country's recent history. But it's like entering someone's home - you should respect it. You may disagree with the author of the material, you may have very different experience from most of us here... By the sound of it, you are too young to remember any of those events.

But if you do NOT have respect for human dignity, or even human life (people were killed for their names), you're NOT welcome here anymore.
