Armenian Genocide
Council of the capital of Bulgaria recognized the fact of the Armenian
Genocide. Sofia became the 5th Bulgarian city after Burgas, Plovdiv,
Stara Zagora and Ruse that recognized the Armenian Genocide.
To recall, last month the adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution
was postponed in Sofia city council.
According to Turkish press, the discussions of the Armenian Genocide
draft resolution were hampered by the efforts of the Bulgarian
government during the official visit of Turkish Prime Minister Regep
Tayip Erdogan to Bulgaria.
According to the Bulgarian government, adoption of the resolution
would damage Turkish-Bulgarian relations.
