Atanas and Lyubomir Dalchev lived their lives honestly and as good people, as well as devoted to both arts - poetry and sculpture and fine art, Victoria Dalcheva, daughter of poet Atanas Dalchev, said during Sunday's unveiling of a memorial plaque to the two Dalchev brothers in their hometown of Thessaloniki, Greece. The plaque is a joint initiative of the Bulgarian News Agency and the Consulate General of Bulgaria in Thessaloniki, and is located in the courtyard of the Consulate building.

"We are very excited about this, albeit symbolic, return of the two brothers from Thessaloniki - Lyubomir and Atanas Dalchev - to their birthplace. The place where they were born and where their father taught them to swim before they could walk. I spent a long time with both brothers, who were very connected to each other," Dalcheva said.

"I will also draw a parallel with the third brother, who was an architect but was born in Constantinople and is therefore absent from the plaque. This is also a tribute to their father, who all the time worked for the cultural, educational and economic interests of the Bulgarians from Macedonia and Thrace, and when he was a teacher, and when he was a lawyer for the people of VMRO, and when he became a national representative in the Turkish parliament," she also said.

Among those present at the event were also: BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, Anton Markov, Consul General of Bulgaria in Thessaloniki; Prof. Huseyin Mevsim, professor of Bulgarian language and literature at Ankara University and author of the book Atanas Dalchev in Thessaloniki and Istanbul; Prof. Mihail Nedelchev, professor and researcher in theory and history of literature at New Bulgarian University in Sofia, editor of the two-volume book of Atanas Dalchev's works published by Bulgarian Writer in 1975, and author and editor of studies on the poet; Boyko Vassilev, journalist and presenter on Bulgarian National Television; Assoc. Prof. Georgi Lozanov, Editor-in-Chief of LIK magazine; and Iriney Konstantinov, actor with recordings of Atanas Dalchev's poems and Sofia Theatre Director. 

During the event, the June issue of the Bulgarian News Agency's LIK magazine, dedicated to Atanas Dalchev's 120th birth anniversary, was also presented.
