Good evening,

First of all allow me to express my deepest regrets towards the chain of events that brought to the dissappearance of Bulgaria as a country. It was never our intent to get to this, and it wasn't in Bulgaria or Romania's benefit that the things ended up as they did.

A little history

Around one month ago, our president (Adiemus) and I made a suggestion towards the bulgarian president to allow us passage through Bulgaria towards Turkey. We offered to support the DoW costs, attack costs, RW costs in order to get your regions back, even pay any infrastructure that we might have damage due to our passage. It would've been a short (less than 3 days) change of territories, without any damage to Bulgaria or the bulgarian people.

Your president's decision was to deny that passage, not betraying your allies - and we respected a man's will to stay next to his friends in their hours of need (?). However, we needed a passage to Turkey and Bulgaria was the only way, and you know the events that followed. Your allies "adviced" you to attack Romania in its homeland, as well as Greece, a country that never attacked you or manifested any hostility towards Bulgaria. The same allies that guaranteed you full support abandoned you when you were no longer useful to their purpose, which led to the complete anihilation of Bulgaria. That's how much you could count on the people that brought you in this situation and which you trusted until the last second.

You are not the first and probably not the last to enjoy this type of treatment. Slovenia and Germany were "helped" in the same way, and France is soon to follow. It's just the Phoenix's way of treating it's "allies"

Our offer

As mentioned before, we have no interest in Bulgaria or bulgarian teritorries. Bulgaria should be back to its old self as a country, and the small baby-boom that you experienced should be managed properly, in your lands, with your press and your ways to greet the newcomers.

That being said, Romania :

- will not fight in any RW that Bulgaria will open in the next days in its initial territories of Burgas, Vidin, Ruse, Sofia, Plovdiv, in this order, and we will use our army to fight for the release of the bulgarian territories, if necessary;
- will not declare war or attack Bulgaria, affect their economy, military or politics in the next 3 months;

if Bulgaria :
- will not try to liberate the province of Plovdiv in the next 10 days;
- will not declare war on Romania or try to affect our economy, military or politics in the next 3 months;

To sum it up, we offer you all your teritorries back in the next days, and Plovdiv in a week's time (as it is required for our further advance towards Turkey).

You can choose this way, or the hard way - declaring war on Romania, trying to liberate the regions in 1 vs. 1 wars vs Romania or RWs - and both us and you know the chances of succes for that. You will be fighting alone, without MPPs, against one of the biggest nations in eRepublik, with one of the best armies and gold to spare, and your chances of winning back the territories are more than slim. It will take weeks, maybe months, and in this time the bulgarian players and babies will slowly quit the game.

I am sure your Phoenix allies (the same ones that didn't give a rat's arse about Bulgaria's fate in the last days) would prefer that you would rather choose the hard way. But maybe it's time to think at what's best for Bulgaria and your people, than do what they think it would be better for them. Because doing what's best for others brought you here in the first place.

A link to this article was sent to your president, and as soon as he agrees to a written contract stating the above, bringing back Bulgaria to the eWorld can start - and we sure hope you will make the right choice this time.


andyr,

President of Romania.
