Naming Dispute

- 1894-1896
- Where
- Ottoman Empire
Historians dispute whether the organization officially bore the name "Macedonian Revolutionary Organization" or if it was unofficial.
According to Hristo Tatarchev's memoirs, IMRO was first called simply the Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (MRO), but he noted he didn't remember it clearly. Historian Ivan Katardžiev states the organization never bore this as an official name. It is believed the name changed to Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees (BMARC) in 1894 or 1896.
