Abstract:
In the 1860s-70s the Bulgarian-language newspaper "Dounav, " published in the Danube vilayet (northern Bulgaria), reported on cases of antisemitism in Romania and Austria, as well as in some Christian localities in Bulgaria. In 1867 the paper wrote about the antisemitic incident in Galati, Romania. In 1875 it reprinted an antisemitic article from the French newspaper "XIXe Siecle." The publication of such articles in an official Ottoman paper had a political aim: to show that Ottoman Turkey, moving toward liberal reforms, was a more civilized country than Romania (which aspired to full independence from the Ottoman Empire) and even, in some respects, than France.
