Deleted forks origin repo, how to recreate links between origin and forks?

[Jacques-Yves Bleau]

If a "master" origin repository, which has many forks, is deleted, the Bitbuclet "links" between the origin and the forks seems to be deleted too.

Then, if the origin repo is recreated with the same name and git history, is there a way in Bitbucket to re-link all the forks to this new identifcal repository so we could merge again within Bitbucket?

Using the API? 
Or will the forks simply need to be recreated also?

Thanks
