We can debate the origins of Bulgarians in another thread, but I'd like to quickly dispel the myth that we are turcic hordes. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/art...l.pone.0056779

"On the whole, in light of the most recent historical studies, which indicate a substantial proto-Bulgarian input to the contemporary Bulgarian people, our data suggest that a common paternal ancestry between the proto-Bulgarians and the Altaic and Central Asian Turkic-speaking populations either did not exist or was negligible."

According to Herodotus, the Thracians were the most numerous tribe in the region. They didn't magically disappear, nor did they get assimilated by much fewer people migrating over (like slavs, celts and the vaunted proto bulgarians). Serbians, Bulgarians, Macedonians - all of these are thracians in their DNA.

As far as the red star fans: sure, like any group of young hotheads with a flag above them, they can be dangerous. But these guys here seem coordinated and on a mission. That's more dangeorus IMO even if it's just a prospect and not a proven fact.

Sir Moody, the articles vary greatly, I agree. The same agency reports it one way in Bulgarian and another way in English. I'll wait for more credible sources and translate if necessary.
