be a certain penalty. This is the man who as leader of Young Turk movement won Bitola. Comes to Resen, builds the caravan and said: "Brother Macedonians, Vlachs, Roma, now all live in a free country, a democratic society." Later, when he sensed that the Sultan sends asesinite, runs away with gold in Durres, where in 1912 he was killed by the same assassin.
