The Department of Foreign Language Teaching and Postgraduate Qualification and "Chernorizets Hrabar" University Library organised presentation of the book by the Varna researcher Rumen Ivanov - "The Bulgarian Ethnic Presence in Western Thrace and Edirne Province ". The book was presented by Assoc. Prof. Dimitar Marinov, PhD.
The author said that the book continues the topic of the Bulgarian ethnic presence and its traces today in the southernmost regions of the Bulgarian ethnic territory in the former Ottoman Empire, recognised as such with a predominantly Bulgarian population both by the Ambassadorial Conference in Constantinople in 1876 and by the firman on the establishment of the Bulgarian Exarchate in 1872, remaining under the Berlin Treaty of 1878 outside the borders of the modern Bulgarian state. In essence, it is an interdisciplinary work covering the sciences: history, ethnology, geography, demography and philology.
