Not the Solution to Bulgaria's Population Crisis


Her name is Kordeza Zhelyazkova. She lives in Sliven, Bulgaria. She gave birth on her wedding day. Oh, and this might be important, she is 11 years old.

"I'm not going to play with toys any more - I have a new toy now," said Kordeza.
And before anyone asks, her 19 year-old husband faces six years in prison.

It's very sad.

Kordeza - who fell pregnant within two weeks of her 11th birthday - spent the night in hospital with Violeta and then headed back to church for her wedding with 19-year-old Jeliazko Dimitrov.

Two weeks to produce a baby? Bulgarians aren't very good at arithmetic. And "fell pregnant"? I never knew you could do it that way, whatever happened to the stork?

Ok read it wrong, her wedding day not her birthday. Took the husband a long time to get caught.

That's one ugly mole or whatever on the baby's head.

First, you should do a better research before publishing any topic. She is not Bulgarian but Roma. Unfortunately the level of education of the Romani people here in Bulgaria is extremely low- about 20% of the children are illiterate. Second, the Romani people have their own traditions and family values which didn`t change much since the Middle Ages. Third, all these problems are the result of the advices of "experts" of minorty problems, who come mainly from The Land Of The Free. (i.e. that is the Land where the word "free" doesn`t have any relation to the words education and healthcare!).
