“In essence, Georgi Traichev, in his “Book about the Mijaks,” does not deny the claims of Serbian and Bulgarian propaganda, pointing out at the same time that, unlike the Mijaks, the Serbs and Bulgarians are newcomers and appear much later on the historical scene.

The Galichnik people feel themselves to be descendants of the former nobles, in whose veins aristocratic blood flows; consequently, they possess an aristocratic spirit, that is, they are modern-day patricians, while all the others (Greeks and Turks) are plebeians, an inferior race and people, with whom one should not associate.”
