Today we celebrate 140 years since the Unification of the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia.

On September 6, 1885, the Bulgarian people stood alone against the unjust decision imposed by the Great Powers in June 1878 with the clauses of the Treaty of Berlin. With it, Bulgaria was divided, and Eastern Rumelia became an autonomous region under the rule of the Sultan. The Unification was achieved after popular revolts in Panagyurishte, Chirpan, Pazardzhik and other settlements in Southern Bulgaria.

140 years later, the date of September 6 is a symbol of our unity, determination and struggle for justice. Let us follow it in our actions in the present as well!

FTTU congratulates all Bulgarians on the holiday and wishes them health, unity and new successes in the name of Bulgaria!
