With a military ritual of carrying the flag of Botev's detachment with the participation of the 61st Stryama Mechanized Brigade in front of the National Museum "Hristo Botev" in the hometown of the poet-revolutionary Kalofer began the commemorative commemoration of 147 years since the death of Hristo Botev.

The more we read about Botev we make sure that it is very difficult to cover and cliché the revolutionary, the poet, the teacher, because he is one of those personalities who, in the words of Zahari Stoyanov, should not measure with yardstick for ordinary mortals.

This was said in his speech by the Mayor of Karlovo Emil Kabaivanov. According to him, Botev carries the giant talent of the poet - his first poem is when he reaches the age of majority - "Mother", and the last at the age of 28 - "The hanging of Levski".

In the newspapers "Duma", "Zname", "Nezavisimost", "Tamań" Botev left his belief that the liberation of Bulgaria should happen with a universal popular revolution, without waiting for the Great Powers and here he agrees with Vasil Levski, Kabaivanov said.

He recalled that from his telegram, sent by the steamship "Radetzky" to the Swiss "Journal de Geneva", the whole of Europe understood "that something is happening in Bulgaria, that blood is flowing and that the Bulgarian people do not want to be under the rule of the sultan anymore."

With a rally-pilgrimage, representatives of the state and local authorities, servicemen, hundreds of citizens climbed to the memorial complex "Hristo Botev", where wreaths and flowers were laid in front of the monument of the hero.
