Macedonian Heritage - Opinion: “Critical elections in Albania and Bulgaria” by Thaleia Kartali Turkey is showing interest in the Bulgarian elections because of the presence of a strong Muslim minority, which, according to opinion polls, totals 3,9%, the minimum requirement for participation in parliament being 4%. Symeon II’s candidature in the elections and rumours of attempts to re-instate the monarchy, the edge that opinion polls give to his party and fears expressed in some circles in Bulgaria about the possible political exploitation of the Muslim minority by third parties, all make the Bulgarian scene obscure. The elections in Albania two weeks later are particularly interesting because of the continuation of Albanian rebel activity in adjacent countries, but also because of the Greek minority’s participation with its own political coalition. www.macedonian-heritage.gr /Opinion/comm_20010609Kalarritis.html   (234 words)

Bulgaria: Presidential elections reveal drop in support for former Tsar Simeon II Recent presidential elections in Bulgaria resulted in a debacle for the government of the former Bulgarian Tsar Simeon II, with a surprise victory for Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) leader, Georgi Parvanov. Stojanov took part in the elections as an independent candidate, although he was originally a member of the conservative UDS (United Democratic Forces) and assumed the post of president as UDS candidate in 1996. The high level of abstention and the success of the BSP candidate (successor organisation of the former Communist Party of Bulgaria) show that the euphoria for the ex-monarch last summer was short-lived and that the political mood in the country could rapidly shift in another direction. www.wsws.org /articles/2001/nov2001/bulg-21_prn.shtml   (1401 words)

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN BULGARIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Five years ago Stoyanov was running for re-election and was the unfortunate adversary of the present President of the Republic; the ODS leader won 34.09% of the vote in the first round and 45.09% in the second. two months before the last general elections on 25th June 2005, Ataka is a xenophobic party (anti-Turk and anti-Gypsy, these minorities representing around 16% of the population) which stands as the defender of the purity of the State and the Nation, the values of the Orthodox Church and the Slav identity. During the election last year the party made a break through which was even more incredible since in spite of Bulgaria having a great number of minorities it has been spared to date of all ethnic tensions that had been the source of the war which bloodied the Balkans after the fall of Communism. www.robert-schuman.org /anglais/oee/bulgarie/presidentielle/default.htm   (1691 words)

A Fistful of Euros: Comment on Elections: Bulgaria Bulgaria was established in 681 and the Turks invaded it and occupied in the mid 14th centuru through unheard of massacres. The "expulsions" of 1989 were not exactly an official policy by the government of Bulgaria - the greater part of the cited 300,000 left the country because their own local leaders pressed them to leave "en masse", hoping the whole crisis will lead to the downfall of the communist government at that time. Being a Turk in Bulgaria is still not wonderful -- which is why more than 100,000 of them never came back from Turkey -- but it's not that bad, either; Turks have their own schools and universities, their party often holds the balance of power in Parliament, and there's a mosque in downtown Sofia. fistfulofeuros.net /cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=2722   (3461 words)

Macedonian Heritage - Opinion: “Bulgaria and Greece” by Lambros Kalarrytis It has been calculated that the old communist Georgi Parvanov’s win in the presidential elections in Bulgaria will have no effect on the diplomatic “honeymoon” which Greek-Bulgarian relations are currently enjoying. The promotion of the Bourgas – Alexandroupolis oil pipeline is of great economic and strategic importance to both countries and the necessary funds have been secured, as have solutions to technical details, through the imminent establishment of Transbalkan Oil Pipeline, the company which will be in charge. There is some disagreement on the part of Bulgaria over participation ratios, while the possibility of a rival pipeline which will terminate in Avlona harbour, via Skopje, in the Adriatic remains open. www.macedonian-heritage.gr /Opinion/comm_20011124Kalarrytis.html   (309 words)
