Hajduk Georgi Manastirliyata

Georgi Manastirliyata was a Bulgarian hajduk active around the mid-nineteenth century. He was born in Bitola, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Its Turkish name, Manastir, gave him his nickname. He joined Ilyo Voyvoda, a prominent Bulgarian revolutionary and hajduk commander.

Despite his efforts to free Bulgarians from Ottoman rule, he was captured and exiled to Diyarbakır prison. He died there as a prisoner in 1862. His sacrifice remains part of the Bulgarian people's history of resistance to Ottoman domination.
