Anyu Angelov: The Prime Minister does not stand in the way of purchasing new fighter jets

Prime Minister Boyko Borissov is not hindering the procedure for the purchase of fighter jets for the Air Force, it is me who postponed it because three Ministries have still not been able to give their opinions, Defence Minister Anyu Angelov said at the opening of the Wonderland Army Christmas Bazaar, the proceeds of which will go to children of killed soldiers.

According to Angelov, the purchase of aircraft will "begin in the near future" and they are extremely necessary for our military aviation, because most of the old Soviet aircraft will soon "retire".

Children of the Bulgarian Army Foundation provides a monthly grant of BGN 250 to over 70 children of servicemen who died while performing their duty. On the occasion of the Christmas Holidays, MoD will provide a further BGN 200 per child. This is not a campaign issue, it is not just for Christmas, many civil servants and soldiers contribute their dues and each month we are able to help them, the Minister of Defence said.

"We really try with this small gesture, compared to the size of the sacrifice and heroism of these children's fathers and mothers, to help them while they are growing up, to help with their education. All this makes us a united community of people who give due consideration to children raised in this particular situation, "Angelov added.
