John Vatatzes criticized the "blue" people, stating that they believed Greeks invaded Bulgaria and stole the bones of Samuel. He wrote that it was shameful they had not surrendered earlier and described this perception as a sign of great ignorance. He added that the bones had been found in the church which, according to him, was built by Samuel in Saint Achilles, in Little Prespa, on Greek territory. https://t.co/bmYba6vEas #Ελλάδα #ιστορία #Βουλγαρία (translated)

John Vatatzes wrote that the Tsar of the Bulgarians, Samuel, had built, approximately 1,000 years ago, the church of Saint Achilles on an islet in Little Prespa and that the lakes of Ohrid and Prespa were in the heart of his kingdom. He mentioned that Professor Nikolaos Moutsopoulos had found the bones of Samuel in 1965 on Greek soil and that they were kept in Thessaloniki. According to Vatatzes, Greece was asking Bulgaria to return thousands of relics and manuscripts that, he claimed, had been looted from monasteries in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace during the occupation of the area in 1917. He also noted that the Treaty of Neuilly provided for their return and that in 2014, during the premiership of Antonis Samaras, it had been agreed to return approximately 2,000 relics, without Greece agreeing to relinquish the rest. He himself accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of giving Bulgaria the bones of Samuel in 2026, which he described as being of inestimable historical and ideological value to the Bulgarians, in exchange for just 48 relics. He compared the move to Alexis Tsipras's concession of the name Macedonia in 2018 and argued that Greece had now lost its bargaining tool for the return of the remaining relics. #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία #Μακεδονία (translated)

Akis Gabriel mentioned that the images showed the welcome by the Bulgarians of the bones of Tsar Samuel, which, as he wrote, returned to Bulgaria after more than 1,000 years and following negotiations with Greece. He argued that the decision benefited Greece geopolitically both in the Balkans and in its relations with countries that, according to him, refused to return Greek national treasures, such as the Marbles belonging to the Acropolis. He characterized the government decision as positive and the criticism it received as irrational. #Βουλγαρία #Ελλάδα #Βαλκάνια (translated)

Meletis Meletopoulos argued that the very poor handling of the case of Tsar Samuel's bones and the ineffective response to what he described as the unacceptable statements of von der Leyen highlighted, in his opinion, the fundamental similarity between the current government and the government of SYRIZA: the complete lack of a sense of national dignity. #ΕθνικήΑξιοπρέπεια #Πολιτική #ΣΥΡΙΖΑ (translated)

"The memory of Tsar Samuel today unites the two countries instead of dividing them," Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev stated, among other things, thanking his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis for his "political courage" and for the "friendship" that unites the two peoples. #Διπλωματία #ΠολιτιστικήΑνταλλαγή #ΕλλάδαΒουλγαρία (translated)

On the occasion of the return of the relics of Samuel to Bulgaria, as he is considered their national hero, let me remind you what happened to the relics of our own Byzantine heroes by "allies" and enemies. After the fall of the City to the Latins, the tombs of the emperors were broken into for valuable items. The remains of Basil II were contemptuously thrown out of his tomb and they placed a flute in his hands ironically mocking his memory and victories. When in 1453 the second fall of the City occurred, the dervishes went to the church of the Holy Apostles where the Byzantine emperors were buried, and they broke all the bones of the emperors with clubs. This is to know with what kind of people we have and still have to deal with. So that we never forget how we must treat everyone in the East and the West. #Βυζάντιο #Ιστορία #ΕθνικοίΉρωες (translated)

We will return the bones of their Tsar Samuel that were found on Greek soil so that they return 48 relics out of the hundreds they stole from the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist in Serres, the Monastery of the Virgin Mary of Ikosifinissa, the Old Metropolitan Church of Serres, the Monastery of the Virgin Mary of Kalamou, the Monastery of the Virgin Mary of Archangel, and the Imaret of Kavala from where they transported the entire library of Arabic manuscripts to Bulgaria, and this is considered a success? Relics that should have already been returned to Greece since the 1920s. No mention of the hundreds of manuscripts of Ikosifinissa, the most valuable of all. #Ελλάδα #ιστορία #πολιτισμός (translated)
