Letters to the editor

To the Editor,

With reference to the text published under the photograph entitled "Bulgaria celebrates hero" on the first page of "The Sofia Echo" (July 20-26), I would like to bring to your kind attention the fact that using a reference such as the "Turkish yoke" does not correspond to the actual state of excellent relations between Turkey and Bulgaria, as well as the existing mutual spirit of friendship, co-operation, understanding, and solidarity. Such a reference is no longer used in the official terminology of Bulgaria.

We hope that such an anachronistic reference, which definitely does not serve to further the development of Turkish-Bulgarian relations and was left in the distant past, would also disappear from the thesaurus of your newspaper that is widely circulated and appreciated among the foreign community in Bulgaria.

Yours sincerely,

M. Turker ARI
Second Secretary
Chief of Consular Section
Turkish Embassy
Sofia
