National Assembly President Tsveta Karayancheva paid tribute to the memory of the Bulgarian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I on the historic peak Kaymakchalan on the border between Greece and North Macedonia, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports.
In her speech Tsveta Karayancheva said that Kaymakchalan was a foundation stone of Bulgaria’s national memory, fighting glory and military honour. The sound of battle is still reverberating through the labyrinth of our collective subconscious and, as a raw nerve, throbs into the future, Tsveta Karayancheva said.
More than 6,000 Bulgarian soldiers and officers entered into battle in August 1916. In October, less than 800 descended from the peak. The artillery fire of the Entente reduced the height of Kaymakchalan from 2,532 to 2,521 metres.
