Biography

Born in

Gypsies.[10][2]

Gyorche Petrov was the representative of the Foreign Committee of the IMRO in

Uprising on Ilinden,[3] August 2, 1903, but he participated as the leader of a cheta (armed band),[9] of which Aromanian revolutionary Ioryi Mucitano was part.[11] After the unsuccessful uprising, Petrov continued his participation in the IMRO. The failure of the Uprising reignited the rivalries between the varying factions of the Macedonian revolutionary movement. The left-wing faction, including Petrov, opposed Bulgarian nationalism but the Centralist's faction of the IMRO, drifted more and more towards it. Petrov was again included in the Emigrant representation in Sofia in 1905–1908. After the Young Turks Revolution of 1908, Petrov together with writer Anton Strashimirov edited the "Kulturno Edinstvo" magazine ("Cultural Unity"), published in Thessaloniki (Solun).[12]
In 1911 a new Central Committee of IMARO was formed and the Centralists faction gained full control over the Organization.

During the

Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920).[citation needed
]

He kept close ties with the new government of

Balkan federation of agrarian states, a policy which began with a détente with Yugoslavia. As a result, Petrov became a Chief of the Bulgarian Refugees Agency by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Then Petrov had to deal with the problem of Bulgarian refugees who had to leave Yugoslavia and Greece, thus incurring IMRO Centralist faction leaders' hatred upon himself.[14]
One of the reasons for this was the open struggle of the IMRO with the government of the BANU, and on the other hand, the interplay between the various refugee organizations and the attempt of IMRO to acquire them.

He was eventually killed by an IMRO assassin in June 1921 in Sofia, on the order of right-wing IMRO leader Todor Aleksandrov.[8][15] The assassination of Gyorche Petrov complicated relations between IMRO and the Bulgarian government and produced significant dissensions in the Macedonian movement.[16]

To honor his name a suburb of

municipalities
of Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia.
