Btw, Maria mou, Bulgaria is not just close to Thrace. Actually, a big part of Thrace is in Bulgaria - my city is in Thrace for instance. Even the university is called Thracian University (like Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας in Thessaloniki), the highway is called Thrace...
Northern Thrace is in Bulgaria, Western Thrace is in Greece, and Eastern Thrace is in Turkey. And if you check out the toponims in Thrace, you'll find out that most of the places have all three Bulgarian, Turkish and Greek names.
We're neighbours thousands of years now, and it is high time we learn how to live together and get over all these historical prejudices and stereotypes. I mean, really, like normal human beings. History is history, it should be respected and never forgotten, but we live in the 21st century, for heaven's sake.

(Wow! sometimes I amaze myself. Refraid from using "gmt". I'm proud of me. lol)
I've already started - got married to a Greek. lol
P.S. And bought "İstanbul: Hatıralar ve Şehir" by Orhan Pamuk from Thessaloniki, cause all of his books have been translated and published in Bulgarian, except for this one. Not that I mind reading it in Greek.

And it was a best-seller in Greece (and all over the world too).
Yup, sometimes we can be pretty normal, intelligent people.
