It lost them. To us. What claim do they have?

[Prince Cobra]

We of Bulgaria are most gratefulfor the assisstance of the United States of America. We also underline the fact Bulgaria claims and will claim for these lands. However we stands on our word. We do not want a war with Greece and want to keep the peace on the Balkan peninsula. We believe in the fair word of Great Britain, Russia and France and the USA. And we are sure they will fulfil their engagement to Bulgaria. Here are the Bulgarian conditions. Bulgaria will withdraw from the disputed territories to the exception of Cavala that is important port ( Bulgaria has no other good port on the Egean sea) in order to secure the access of supplies and weapons from the Meditteranean. I also demand the Greeks that were settled there after 1913 to return back in Greece. The same number of Bulgarians living in Greece would be settled in the disputed lands. I would go even further - if you wish we may 'exchange' all the Greeks living in the disputed lands for the same number Bulgarians living in Greek lands. Thus we would have no further problems.

Second, we want the current occupators to let the Bulgarians there had their own militia (also volunteers from Bulgaria can be included) and their own administration (from the native Bulgarians). We also want an assisstance in opening the closed (by the Greeks) schools and the local church to be subdued to the Bulgarian Patriarchate not to the Greek one. Thus Bulgaria would be sure their citizens would be save. In addition we are against the presence of any Greek soldiers in the province in any form. This is a great compromise from the Bulgarian side and we would like to pay attention that Bulgaria will claim for this territory. This is the only way to secure the future for the Bulgarians there. When fighting against the Ottomans, our people will think of their brothers.

We did all these because we are responsible to our Allies and stand on our word. We would like to ask our Allies to do the same when the time came.

We of Bulgaria would not forget the aid of the United States of America.

To my Greek colleague. My claims are the will of the natives. If this is not enough I really do not know what to say.

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

Bulgaria, I will not take out any Greek citizens because you want them out. I also will keep my own Greek militia in Salonika and other Greek Macedonian territories. Bulgaria, the promise of Greek Macedonia was only valid under the circumstance that I was part of the Central Powers.

Bulgaria has no claims to Salonica and will not pretend to this city. We do hope we will be compensated for this. Well, in the disputed area you have no Greek militia because the things will get too complex.

Second, what I can give you is to let you continue your way to the Ottoman border using the shortest possible way. At this particular moment your armies are moving through Egean Thrace and should soon enter on Ottoman territory. Your idea of going back only to enter in my capital 'for supplies' can not be approved by me and my government. This will only increase the tension between our countries. I can not and will not let any non-Bulgarian army enter in Sophia or approach its area.

I did not want to sound hostile but I am very concerned about the security of my capital. However my people will assisst you in transporting supplies from the Greek territories to your army. So please move to the Ottoman border and do not take risky adventures like a journey to my capital. I will never let this happen.

Warluster, please add this to my orders. It's not a secret one. I order my soldiers not to do anything against the Turkish population that did not threaten the Bulgarian army. These Turks who obbey my command should have no problems from my side. I will not harm the Turkish soldiers that surrender as well.

Warluster, tomorrow or the day after that I'll send you my final orders because the things are changing and I have discussed some things with my Allies, mainly Serbia. But more or less my plans are still the same so far.

There is no reason for the Greeks to go to your capital 'for supplies' Cleary they mean to attack you. Also, I approve of your request for aid. You get all you want.

Or you clearly want a war to happen by spreading false lies. There is tension, yes, but not threatening tension. I only thought Sophia would be the center of Bulgarian supplies. America clearly has no idea of what goes on in Europe.
