Debelt

Debelt (Bulgarian: Дебелт) is a village in Burgas Province in southeastern Bulgaria.

However, after the Treaty of Adrianople in 1829, the Christian population of Debelt abandoned the village and travelled with the Russian army as it withdrew from Ottoman territory.

In 1864, the Ottoman government repopulated Debelt with Circassians,[2] after which the village became known as Yakezli (Bulgarian: Якезли).

In 1903, during the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising, the village served as an important logistical base of the IMRO and training camps were established.

[4] After the Second Balkan War in 1913, 76 Bulgarian families from East Thrace settled in the village.
