SOFIA, APRIL 24, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The city council
of Sofia recognized the fact of the Armenian Genocide, Cihan news
agency reported.
According to Cihan, Sofia is the fourth Bulgarian city after Burgas,
Plovdiv and Stara Zagora to recognize the Armenian Genocide. However,
the news agency forgot to refer to the information it published a
week ago, by which the Bulgarian city of Ruse has also recognized
the fact of the Genocide.
To recap, last month the city council of Sofia postponed adoption of a
resolution on the Armenian Genocide. According to the Turkish press,
the Bulgarian government prevented discussions on adoption of the
Armenian bill.
It explained that such a step would harm Turkish-Bulgarian relations:
the discussion of the bill was prevented during a visit of the Turkish
prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Bulgaria.
