At the Naval Museum in Varna, Defence Minister Todor Tagarev opened the exhibition Enemy/Friend, revealing the complex puzzle of Bulgaria’s military and political relations with Turkey, Russia and Germany, which are key to the history of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom. 

The attitude of people today towards the three countries are usually polarized and emotional for a host of historical reasons. Tracing the period from the liberation of Bulgaria (1878) to World War 2, when relations with the three countries were transformed – from friendly to hostile and back – the exposition challenges visitors to step outside the bounds of stereotypes and interpret the past for themselves, asking the question – can there be eternal friends or foes on the international stage, the organizers of the exposition say.
