The center of Rumelia Governorate was Sofia, and Edirne was very close. Probably for this reason, the Ottoman view of Bulgaria was different. Therefore, our human material there was also well trained, their hearts and minds were working with and for the state. Because of this, strong thinkers of Bulgarian origin were brought up.
Each of these thinkers is a Sage; Wise Visionaries.
The tradition of Wisdom, which started with Tonyukuk, continued with our great thinkers in the land and lands of Sofia. Only Ahmed Cevdet and Süheyl Ünver is a school of thought more than the sum of universities and academies.
