"In today's technological age, we need the elegance of language and the wisdom of the ages it carries. We are dedicated to speaking about Bulgaria’s spiritual territory and the significant influence of Bulgaria on the civilizational and cultural development not only of the Slavic world but of the entire world. Bulgarian culture and spirituality are a conduit to the world's historical secrets'', Vice President Iotova said. "Many countries were born through the conquest of territories by the sword, but Bulgaria was born from words, letters, literature and spirituality. That is why it is called a spiritual empire", Iliana Iotova pointed out.
