The Macedonian national minority in the Republic of Bulgaria – indigenous Macedonian population with local ethnic culture, an integral part of the Macedonian. The ancestors of this population are recorded in medieval sources under tribal names Strumy and Smolani. The Macedonian population can be continuously monitored in Turkish sources. At the beginning of ⅹⅹ c. It was stackally involved in the Bulgarian state territory: northern Pijanec in 1878, and in 1912. The rest of the Pirin part of Macedonia – Gornojuma (Blagoevgradic), Silent (Sandansko), Petrichko, District and Neurocopic (Gotchelchevo). Map of the Pirin part of Macedonia in the RB Macedonians in Bulgaria belong to two Confessions: Orthodox Christianity and Islam. The most numerous is the Macedonian population with Orthodox faith. The Macedonian population with Islamic faith, the so-called. Pomaks are largely concentrated on the move towards the Western Rhodopic Reef, in the border area of the WG towards Thrace, as well as in other ethnic areas of Pirinski (Gornoduma, neurocopic and flatter). Except in rural settlements, Macedonians from both confessions live in all cities in the Pirin part of Macedonia. The exact number of Macedonians in Bulgaria is not known, since the state after 1948. It does not allow free statement for national affiliation in census lists. In the first post-war censuses (1946 and 1956), more than 70% of Pirinski population reported as Macedonians. Macedonians from both Confessions do not enjoy minority rights in RB. The Pirin part of Macedonia covers the majority of the Macedonian Strumica-Voice Ethnographic whole. Only one small part (Strumica and Radovish) are found in the state borders of the Republic of Macedonia. The ultimate part of this ethnographic whole geographically defined with the Delta of the Republic of Macedonia. Places and landscapes of that space, and ends up to the final southeastern part of the Aegean part of Macedonia (WG). The border between RB and RGR (1913) unnatural cuts this Macedonian ethnographic whole, especially the ethnic landscape smooth. The territory living Pirin Macedonians can be determined starting from the eastern line line that begins on the southern part of Mount Dospat, leads to the north and moves along the western Rhodopic Reef and the mountain peaks and comes out at the source of places, the Rila Mountain. At that point starts the northern border that moves in western direction through the high mountain peaks and through the tops of southwestern Rila, and it descends north of Blagoevgrad, in the valley of the R. Struma. Cut the Blagoevgrad river and climbs into the mountainous region of Pijanec. Here begins the western border and leads to the south along the mountain waterpiece that divides the catchment of the r. Bregalnica to the west of the tributaries of the r. Struma to the east. East of the mountain. At the final peak (Kadiica) cuts the spring of the blenica – right tributary of the r. Struma and continues through an Ograzden. From here it goes down into the valley of R. Strumestic, and climbs on the mountain Belasica and comes out on her ridge. At that point, which is three of the Pirin, the Aegean and Vardar part of Macedonia, starts the southern border and leads on the mountain peaks, so it descends to the town of Petrich in the valley of Struma, cut the river at the Rupelian Gorge, go along the foot of Rupel Mountain and climbs on Goce Mountain. From here and from the southern branches of the Pirin border, it descends into the valley of the R. Places, southeast of the village of Neurocop (today Goce Delchev), cut the river and climbs to the southern part of Mount Dospat. The Pirin part of Macedonia covers about 6,798 km² or about 10.18% of the Macedonian ethnic territory. For the number of the Macedonian minority there is no accurate data, because the state treats it as “non-existent”. This state attitude can be followed in the events related to Informbiro (1948), when the minimum cultural autonomy of the Pirin part of Macedonia is interrupted. In 1946 and 1956 Relatively free censuses were conducted, which over 70% of the population reported as Macedonians. The pressure carried out for the forcing of the Macedonians to be the performance of the performance Jasen the drama “MPBLARI” KO Bulgarians from the district Macedonian National Theater in Upper Dal Dales-Jumaja (1947/48) in the coming years, but did not turn off the emergence of Macedonians in official censuses. Besides intimidations, in the 1992 census. A Macedonian minority of 10,800 inhabitants appeared, which Bulgaria refused to recognize. Unlike the Turkish and Roma minority, the Macedonian minority does not have its graph in census lists, but it is located in the column “others” along with the Armenian, Tatar, Gagauese and other small minorities. In order to obtain at least an approximate figure of Macedonia, a decent part of the number 147,707 souls should be added, as far as 2% “others” from 7,385,367 total semilation (2006). If considered by an approximative figure of 100,000 of TN. “Others”, the number of the Macedonian minority in the RB can be somewhere around 150,000 to 250,000. Speech language is the Macedonian – Southeast dialect (dilapidated, petrus and mereque-lagadinski: smuggles, supplies). In official use after 1912 is standardized Bulgarian. After religion, the population is of Orthodox Christianity (Protestantism appears from the second half of ⅹⅰⅹ c.) And Islamic. The continuity of the Strumen-Place Ethnographic Uniform can be followed by the early medieval, when there was one obstement known for the name Struma or Strumica Zupa. The stream and the spaces area, over time, began to vary by individual ethnic characteristics due to appearance related to historical processes. Almost to the end of the Turkish period, two Sanzakaka have existed on this area of ethnic Macedonia: Serars and dramatic in composition of the Thessaloniki Vilet. The modus of administrative immutability over a period of almost five centuries positively influenced the preservation of the Macedonian ethnic character of the space and maintenance of the continuity with the ancient and old Slavic cultural matrix from the time of the medieval ancestors of the Macedonians in this area – the Strumans around the Republic of Macedonia. Strum and Smolies per r. Places, which in Symbiosis with the old-occavan population of Macedonia created their ethnic identity in the domain of material, social and spiritual culture. The ethnic merger of the Macedonian minority of Pirinski was built on the basis of their own ethnic culture, as well as by joining the United States minority in Bulgaria, Pehcevo, the western border janning Sandanski with fighters from their company to those who declare the tops of the Maleshevo Lunch enemy (Turkish or other foreign government, the Greek Church, etc.), which is confirmed by initiatives and massive participation in committee and rebellious actions, until the Ilinden uprising and the events that followed, including the latest related to the partisan movement in World War II. Given the nature of the Turkish state milly system that persists five centuries, the Macedonians did not feel their direct enemies, the other members of the “Christian Millet”. Misunderstandings with Bulgarians appeared in ⅹⅰⅹ c. Under the influence of ideas from Europe for the realization of the state-nation concept, which accepted the Bulgarian middle class and developed a strategy for virtual renewal of the territory of medieval Bulgarian kingdoms. Through aggressive propaganda, they started working on attracting the Macedonian and other nebugarian population in the creation of the so-called. Bulgarian cultural sphere. The action for Bulgarian spiritual supremacy began with standardization of the Bulgarian language. US Protestant Missionaries, who worked for Bulgarian interests mainly on the space of Eastern / Southeast Macedonia, after 1835. They created the first standardized Bulgarian letter, and on the basis of “Bulgarian”, they chose the dialect from Eastern Macedonia. With the creation of this temporary new image of the past, cultural differences between Bulgarians and Macedonians were relativized. But in the 40s of ⅹⅰⅹ c. Eastern European Makers manage to reject the Macedonian busy written language and the spell of Neophyt Rilski (from Bansko) and the new translation of the Bible, on the basis of the Eastern Bulgarian dialogue standardize the modern Bulgarian literary language. After the announcement of the Ferman for the creation of the Bulgarian Exarchate (1870), the road to spreading the Bulgarian name and the Bulgarian idea was opened until factual attachment of Macedonian territories. As a result of military shares in the Russian-Turkish War (1877/78), part of the Pijanec region, the so-called. North Pijanec and parts of neighboring Osogovski scenery on that line. After the Balkan Wars (1912/13), the entire territory of the Pirin part of Macedonia, along with the Strumbers of Places and Marica, was involved. After the Versaille Peace Accord (1919), Bulgaria retained this part of Macedonia, except Strumica. As a result of the interstate agreements of Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey for the exchange of population (Ney, 1919 and Lausanne, 1923), the exodus of the Macedonian contract (1919) population from the Aegean part of Macedonia towards Pirinska, the migration of the Pirin Population occurred Towards Turkey and migrations of members of the Greek Patriarchal church in Greece. According to a rough calculation, about 40% of Pirinski population moved from the Aegean part of Macedonia. The number of new refugees came after World War II should be added to the number of old “Benchmarks”. In addition to the positive intensification of the Macedonian ethnic element in Pirinski, these movements of the population caused changes in local ethnic culture and violated the previous system of dialects and speeches in the Macedonian language. The RB is not guaranteed minority freedoms and rights of the Macedonian minority, which is marginalized in the field of economy, public administration, education, in the legislation, political and public life, in the media, etc. The state denies the rights of the Macedonian minority of the Slimanian body of the area c. “Pirin work” Bathroom Association in Civil and Political Associations. In various ways and different means prevents their cultural gatherings and convenient celebrations of festive days and on the occasion of events of their cultural history. It is roughly appropriating the Macedonian ethnic culture and folklore and always shows them as Bulgarian. Print a huge number of publications for promotion of the state policy of negation of the Macedonian minority. The Internet is another tool used in the calculation with the Macedonians. Under the pressure of the state, Macedonians were still exposed to Bulgarization. Among the major minorities, only the Macedonian minority does not have its own graph in census lists. After the fall of the regime of Todor Zhivkov, minority ethnic groups in Bulgaria were politically activated and starting from 1989/90/91. They formed their own parties and civic associations. For the resistance of Bulgaria to these phenomena speak a queue reports on the Internet. Formal steps towards improving minority rights were undertaken during the period of approximation of RB to the EU (1998-2006), but also then the Macedonian minority of the two confessions was constantly with the status of “non-existent”, and those declared as Macedonians were and with “Still proclaimed traitors, separatists and enemies of the state. Macedonian political and civic associations, founded in the period 1990-2004, on a valley and the territory of Macedonian writers visiting the Pirin part of Macedonia (1948) The rule have their own Bulgarian “doubles” with similar names, created by special institutions of the state in order To cause blurring and encourage internal conflicts. With this kind of mimicred, the people through a maze were conducted and prevented from recognizing his true association between “OMO Ilinden” by Sandanski, “OMO Ilinden Representatives of OMO” Ilinden “before the Jane Sandanski monument at the Rogomishte Pirin” from the village of Mosomishte (Blagoevgradan ), “OMO PIRIN” from Sandanski and “VMRO-SMD”. In the post-communist period, the Macedonian Pomicar Minority with the organization “Sun – Association of Macedonians with Islamic Religion” was announced, which, however, failed to register. As a true representative of the Macedonian minority in Bulgaria, “OMO Ilinden-Pirin” (united Macedonian organization “Ilinden” – Pirin) – Party for economic development and the integration of the population in the Republic of Macedonia. The party refers to continuity with TMORO and VMORO from Pirinska from the classical period of formation to the death of Jane Sandanski (1915). This party has not yet been registered by the Bulgarian judicial power. The only printed medium of the Macedonian minority in Bulgaria is c. “People’s will” (Blagoevgrad) What are the newspaper of the Macedonians in the Pirin part of Macedonia “People’s Will” in Bulgarian and Macedonian. Since 2001 He was confiscated several times, but the publishers and friends of the newspaper continue their work as Ivan Singartian, leader of OMO “Ilinden & Pirin”, and the cultural identity of the Macedonians. The newspaper has its own Bulgarian “double” in c. “Makedonia-Bílgaria”. In other Bulgarian public media (radio, television, etc.) there is no room for the cultural needs of the Macedonian minority.
