СОЛУНСКАТА ПРОВАЛА НА ТМОРО ВО 1901 ГОДИНА (ПОВОД: 110 ГОДИНИ ОД НАСТАНОТ)
THE SALONIKA AFFAIR OF IMRO FROM 1901 (ON OCCASION OF THE 110TH ANNIVERSARY)

Summary/Abstract: By the end of the 19 century the Macedonian revolutionary movement has seen substantial growth under the leadership of the IMRO. In this period IMRO started to arm itself. These activities attracted the attention of the Ottoman authorities, which took serious measures to eliminate the Macedonian revolutionary movement. As a result of these measures, in January 1901 the Ottomans found certain illegal activists of the IMRO. The authorities started series of investigations which eventually resulted with a trial. Even the members of the IMRO Central Committee were convicted. The defendants were sentenced for actions against the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, with a final goal: “establishment of an independent Macedonian state” or “setting up an autonomous authority in Macedonia”. This event, named “The Saloniki Affair”, left long term consequences on the future development of the Macedonian revolutionary movement.
