“The instability in the region we have always warned about is now a fact,” PM Boyko Borissov told reporters, commenting on yesterday’s terrorist attack in Turkey. “We are firm in our position that a safe zone must be established, we shall uphold it at the EU,” he added.

In his words it is normal for people who have problems in Syria to remain close to their territory, so that they can return later on. “We shall continue to insist on this, and also that Turkey be assisted by the EC for the money it is spending on these almost 2 million refugees. “In this instance, Bulgaria is highly dependent on Turkey because if the Turkish Prime Minister was not investing so much effort to keep the refugees on his territory, they would pour over the border into Bulgaria.” Boyko Borissov added that he would be meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu at a major international conference organized by the Turkish Prime Minister on October 14 and 15.
