My people were slaves to the Ottoman Empire for 500 years. Slavs = Slaves / by Mirena Rhee

Christian churches were forbidden from being taller than nearby Islamic buildings, that’s why all from that period are dug in. Five centuries of complete political and cultural subjugation, with thousands of little boys taken to become elite killers. I don’t want your fucking reparations. France, Germany, Spain used to slaughter each other now we get waved by, no borders. I can now vote in Bulgaria with many parties to choose from while Turkey is a dictatorship. Who knew? Don’t get me started on Communism and the terrors of Soviet Russia brought on Bulgarians. But Times change. Get over it.
