Massacres of the Bulgarian population by the Turkish authorities in Stip and Kocani

"The massacres of the Bulgarian population by the Turkish authorities in Stip and Kocani roused public opinion in Bulgaria.. In early Sep 1912 [the Ottomans] ordered the mobilisation of 100000 reserves in Adrianople Thrace and their concentration at the Bulgarian frontier. The imminent danger made the Bulgarian government declare nationwide mobilisation of the armed forces on 17 Sep 1912 which aroused unprecedented support.. Those wishing to participate in the liberation march far exceeded the quantity of available weapons. A total of 600000 men marched under the banners.. Bulgaria bore the brunt of the First Balkan War for it had mobilized more forces and sustained losses equal to those of all its allies. At the main Thracian theatre of war the enemy admitted its defeat and fled to the capital.. a peace treaty was signed by virtue of which the new border between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire followed the straight line from the town of Midye on the Black Sea to the town of Enos on the Aegean" (Markov, 1987)
