Dimitar Nikolov Petkov ((ブルガリア語:Димитър Петков)) (2 November 1858, Tulcea – 11 March 1907, Sofia) was a leading member of the Bulgarian People's Liberal Party and the country's Prime Minister from November 5, 1906 until he was assassinated in Sofia the following year. A veteran of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 he fought for the Russian Imperial Army at the Battle of Shipka Pass where he lost an arm during the combat.〔Thomas McGonigle, ''The corpse dream of N. Petkov'', Northwestern University Press, 2000, p. 29〕 Petkov spent five years (1888–1893) as mayor of Sofia and during his time in charge he undertook an extensive redevelopment of the city.〔Duncan M. Perry, ''Stefan Stambolov and the emergence of modern Bulgaria, 1870-1895'', Duke University Press, 1993, p. 185〕 Following the death of Stefan Stambolov in 1895 he took over as leader of People's Liberal Party, a role he held until his own death when Nikola Genadiev succeeded him.〔R. J. Crampton, ''Bulgaria'', Oxford University Press, 2007, p. 451〕 Petkov's party took office in 1903 following the resignation of Stoyan Danev but Ferdinand I of Bulgaria chose a non-party Prime Minister, his close friend Racho Petrov, instead of Petkov.〔R. J. Crampton, ''A concise history of Bulgaria'', Cambridge University Press, 2005, p. 127〕 He was finally appointed Prime Minister in November 1906 but held the post for only a few months as he was murdered by an anarchist in Sofia's Boulevard Alexander II on 11 March 1907.〔McGonigle, ''The corpse dream of N. Petkov'', p. 32〕 His son Nikola Petkov was also a politician in post-war Bulgaria before being put to death in 1947.〔Joseph Rothschild, ''The Communist party of Bulgaria: origins and development, 1883-1936'', AMS Press, 1972, p. 37〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dimitar Petkov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
