Incident of Pétritch
the incident of Pétritch is a disagreement gréco - Bulgare which is held at the border of the two countries in October 1925.
The October 19th 1925, a Bulgarian sentinel, posts some on the border, kills a Greek soldier who would have tried to catch up with his dog. The reaction of the Greek government is immediate; the general dictator Theodoros Pangalos sends the Greek army to occupy the frontier city of Petritch in Bulgaria to claim compensations. To regulate this conflict, Bulgaria calls upon the Société of the Nations, and does not oppose whereas a resistance symbolic system.
The SDN condemns the Greek invasion rather quickly, claiming the immediate withdrawal of its troops of the Bulgarian territory as well as the payment of a monetary compensation in Bulgaria. Greece yields and pays a fine of 45.000£. But, until Greece conforms at the requests of the SDN, more than 50 Bulgarian perish in this conflict.
Little time after, Greece complains, at the SDN, of the inequality of treatment which it accepted compared to that of Italy in the Incident of Corfu in 1923; the Italian armed forces had occupied the Greek island of Corfu after the murder of the Italian general Enrico Tellini who supervised the Greek border since the Albania.
