Who was Petar Poparsov?

Petar Pop-Arsov was a Bulgarian revolutionary from Macedonia, one of the founders of "The Committee for Obtaining the Political Rights Given to Macedonia by the Congress of Berlin" from which, as Petar Poparsov says in his writings, later developed the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, known prior to 1902 as Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees.
