[MoFA] A short talk with the Bulgarian MoFA

Day 1,222, 18:58 • Published in Romania Republic of Moldova • by Back2black

Romania and Bulgaria have been fighting side by side for quite some time now. We've seen their actions and help on the battlefield, we've seen them on our chats and we have read their newspapers.

Through my function in the Romanian Foreign Affairs Cabinet, I've had the chance to speak to some of the Bulgarian leaders quite a lot. Today I have decided to introduce you to The Graverobber - former president of Bulgaria, current MoFa, and former DIFA of Phoenix.


Peach: How is the relationship between our two countries perceived nowadays in Bulgaria?
The Graverobber: Considering eBulgaria was always PEACE/Phoenix member changing the side wasn't the most easy thing. There was a lot of quarrel for many weeks. In November, when we officially announced the leaving of Phoenix i knew it will be a matter of time for our two nations to create closer relationship. During the whole month i had great conversations with Bogdan L and that assured me that "the devil" can have a good side too 🙂 however things changed and half of Phoenix now is fighting against NWO. And in my opinion now that we are in Eden, Romania is one of our most vital allies. Many soldiers and tanks fought for us in the last balkan war where we were on the blink of deletion. It is funny we were on the same side now (considering the last two). But i think we should improve more the social part of our relation (the military is simpler and is already developed) - we should organise more common MM campaigns or food for the youth. This can bring us more closer. But to answer the question (finally 😃 ) - our relationship is on a good level which of course can be improved over time.


Peach: What about the part of your population which was against our two countries being friends, have they changed their mind?
The Graverobber: Only the oldest fags were against our entering in Eden, but in time they agreed with the common opinion. During my term i announced leaving of Phoenix and i wanted more smoother changing of the sides so that there can be adequate relations with the former allies - you see now we are on the same side with many of them (Russia. France, Brasil, UK, Argentina). However entering of Eden and the making of the first steps towards creating ally bond with Romania was accepted by the most of our population and with the majority of the congress although it was kinda rush in my opinion.


Peach: I was also going to ask you about Russia. You currently have an MPP with them, even though Bulgaria switched sides and Russia is stuck somewhere in-between. How did you convince them to accept this?
The Graverobber: Bulgaria and Russia will be friends, no matter the time or the current alliances. So it was, so shall it be. It is brotherhood from real life and it is in the game as well. So our relations were always good and can hardly be harmed. As it was difficult for them to change the side, they endured many internal struggles as well. But we got lucky Avisian won in january as he is of Russian ethnicity but lives in Sofia. So he turned their international course in such way that it would be very hard to turn back. Then the democrats and monarchists continued this policy and eventually they became member of Terra thus allying themselves with the nations opposing NWO. We were their first natural ally and the greeks were the other cause they are both orthodox and are close in RL also. However it is difficult for them to ally with you, because of the last attack during their deletion launched by Romania.


Peach: You anticipated my next question 🙂 As you know from our previous talks, Romania tried to get closer to Russia. We have realized that we'd be better off together than as opponents. As you know, I've volunteered to be present in one of their congress meetings, giving them the opportunity to ask me any question they wished. The result was, that even though the CP, MoFA and some congress members were pro this MPP, the rest of the congress couldn't be convinced, as they preferred to listen to the voice of the citizens. With the current conditions, do you foresee that Romania and Russia could ever be allies?
The Graverobber: Well, just as the opinion of bulgarians changed about Eden - if you show them support during battles against their enemies. With the mass opinion of the great support Romania gets from the administration, you have to show them romanians also are not invincible, but can be a good and proven ally, Something which Russian can be to you too if "the iron curtain falls". But for that to happen you must show them your wish to get together in practice.


Peach: We've had quite a lot of private discussions about this hot topic in the past days. Is there a possibility that you can declare Hungary as natural enemy?
The Graverobber: Yes, there is quite possibility we can do that as we are not afraid to attack stronger opponents and help our alliance.


Peach: Thank you for your time. I am sure that the Romanians will be pleased to meet you through this short interview. But, just before we can call it a day, I have one last question: what would you think of an international erepublik meeting - if we were to organize such a meeting, would you and other Bulgarians be interested to join?
The Graverobber: It would be awesome 🙂 it can show that enemies in the game can be friends in RL. Moreover it would be nice way to meet guys from different countries or even ones you talked to for months but didn't know in person.
