Though considering and declaring himself Bulgarian, Delcev was a champion of Macedonian autonomy. He accepted and preached the principle "Macedonia for the Macedonians" opposing the attempts of Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece to annex the region. The goal of IMARO while led by Delcev was to bring freedom to all Macedonians - irrespective whether they were Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish, Vlach, Albanian or Jewish (Ladino) - by means of an internal insurrection.
Delcev died on May 4th 1903 in a skirmish with the Turkish police near the village of Banitza, Serres region while preparing an uprising in Macedonia.

If this disease had not existed in our forefathers who passed it on to us, we wouldn't have fallen under the ugly sceptre of the Turkish sultans..."
