This happened during the presentation in Sofia of the special edition dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the newspaper, BTA reports. 

At the ceremony, Mandzhukova said that the true heroes are the Bulgarians abroad: "Those in London, those in Argentina who do not know much Bulgarian but always say welcome. Those in Hungary who no longer need us, because the Hungarian state provides everything they need, but they continue to be Bulgarians and leave their photos of the deceased in the church. All of them are the heroes. And we, all of us here, owe them much."
