The 140th anniversary since the signing of the San Stefano Peace Treaty provides us with an occasion to prove that we stand up for freedom – with truthful words and dignified conduct, with personal involvement or support. 

This is said in an address of Bulgarian President Rumen Radev in connection with the 140th anniversary of the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation (1877–1878).

To quote Rumen Radev, the freedom earned in 1878 was never lost over the span of 140 years despite the vicissitudes of history.

With his address the Bulgarian head of state gave the start to celebrations marking the 140th anniversary since the Liberation of Bulgaria.
