In an interview for Radio Bulgaria, Boyan Angelov reveals interesting moments from his creative path and from the history of the organization. ‎

"I was born in the town of Panagyurishte. I spent my childhood there, I graduated from high school there" he says. "When I was doing my university studies, I had to make a pause of one year and in that period I became a teacher in the high school I myself graduated. The founder of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Marin Drinov, and the first Bulgarian literary critic, Nesho Bonchev, whose name the gymnasium bears today, were both students and teachers in it."

"My memories of Switzerland are nothing short of superb. Along with the many friendships I made there, a half-ruined castle that I came across by chance left a strong impression on me," says Boyan Angelov. "Later, I realized that this place for the Swiss people is as Mount Shipka is for us. In this fortress, on July 22, 1499, a battle took place between the troops of the united Swiss cantons and the Holy Roman Empire. The Swiss army won the victory, but from then to this day they have not waged a single war, that is, they keep their neutrality. And in this place I realized what it is to be a good person - to know that neither you, nor your father, nor your grandfather, nor your great-grandfather ever shot people. This is perhaps the biggest lesson I learned there - if there is such a place in the world, then nothing is lost." ‎

"The time is fruitful for anyone who wants to devote himself to literature. Why? Because today young people do not have the restrictions that existed before. They can now travel and live anywhere, study, get acquainted with foreign cultures. This is a huge advantage and we should be grateful. But it is important to pay more attention to people as individuals, to their achievements. And not to be flooded with negative news. Because many positive things are happening in Bulgaria, but only a narrow circle of people learns about them. There are so many talented people in Bulgaria and they should be the driving force of our society". ‎
