Speaking at an event that unveiled a special issue of BTA's LIK magazine for art and culture, celebrating its own 60th anniversary, former BTA Director General Panayor Denev said that LIK helped him shed his BTA-nite obscurity and "become a name". "Before LIK, I was only two letters, PD [the initials used by the BTA journalists to undersign their work]. LIK helped me become a full name, Panayot Denev," he said.

He recalled former LIK Deputy Editor-in-Chief Russi Bozhanov saying once that LIK was "a detonator" and that it "spread much explosive material across the country, legally or not".

LIK, in addition to being culture news and art digest, also provided opportunities to authors to reach their audience, said also Denev.
