Talk:Bulgaria–Greece relations

History draft
The first contacts between the Greeks and what are today the Bulgarians were established as part of the Bulgars' arrival in the Balkans around the 6th century. The Slavs had relations with the Byzantine Empire even before they came to the area, though in fact the document that can be considered to have officially established relations between the First Bulgarian Empire and Byzantium is a peace treaty in 681.

Since then, for the most part of the Middle Ages the two empires had dynamic relations: from long periods of Byzantine-Bulgarian Wars with varying scale and outcome to equally important times of peace and cultural co-operation. The Byzantine Empire subjugated Bulgaria in 1018 and controlled its former territory until 1185, when the Second Bulgarian Empire was established and quickly regained much of its former glory. The two empires continued to co-exist as important rivals in the Balkans until the 14th-15th century, when the Ottomans established their control over most of the peninsula.

Byzantine and Greek influence over the Bulgarian culture has been enormous: from the common Eastern Orthodox faith and traditional church architecture to cuisine, language and trade.


 * Here's what I came up with for now: it's really only a draft that needs a lot of work, references, expansion (more recent history), correction, etc. Feel free to add/correct/erase, whatever :) Todor→Bozhinov 16:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Merge Discussion
There seems to be significant overlap of discussion between these two articles, however this one is better sourced and copy edited but lacks some of the detailed information from the other article. Together they would make one strong article and this article's title is probably the better of the two so I chose mergeto this article. ju66l3r 06:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Given the critical importance of currently disputed issue about Macedonian minority in Greece,is better to keep them separatelly. kaltsef 08:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, it appears that you are abusing the content forking guideline. I will remove my merge request because the Minorities in Greece article covers the content you were attempting to recreate.  ju66l3r 16:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Bulgarian–Greco relations → Bulgaria–Greece relations – Naming convention is country names in alphabetical order and endash between copuntry names. I mistakenly moved the page to the current title (copy/paste error), and there is an edited redirect in the way for this move. HandsomeFella (talk) 19:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
