‘Out-Europeanising’ the Competition: Armenian Genocide Recognition in Bulgaria

Daniel Fittante

Europe-Asia Studies, 2022, vol. 74, issue 10, 1895-1914

Abstract: Building on Europeanisation scholarship, this article unpacks the instrumental rhetoric of Armenian genocide recognition in Bulgaria. In Bulgaria’s 2015 parliamentary hearings on the issue, diverse political actors—from liberal to nationalist political party members—formed unlikely coalitions and strategically instrumentalised Armenian genocide recognition as a way to signal ‘Europeanisation’ in pursuing very distinct ends.
