“The\u00a0visit\u00a0of the patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill is planned for the 140th anniversary of the liberation of\u00a0Bulgaria\u00a0from the Ottoman yoke as a result of the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation (1877-1878). The program of the\u00a0visit\u00a0is being prepared”, Zaharova said. She said that Russia and\u00a0Bulgaria\u00a0“generally have active contacts with parliaments, churches and different institutions”.<\/p>\n
“Cooperation at the regional level is fruitful, there is progress in trade and economic ties”, added the spokesman for the\u00a0Russian\u00a0MFA. The celebrations dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the liberation of\u00a0Bulgaria\u00a0began in 2017 and their peak will be on March 3, when the San Stefano Peace Treaty was signed, which returned the country to the political map of the world, finally releasing it from the Turkish slavery.<\/p>\n
