SOFIA (A.A) -A resolution prepared by the Bulgarian racist and
chauvinist ATAKA party deputies and one that supported Armenian
allegations pertaining to the incidents of 1915 got rejected by the
Bulgarian Parliament again on Wednesday.
Thirty deputies voted against the resolution while 14 voted in favour.
59 deputies abstained.
Speaking at the Bulgarian Parliament's general assembly meeting, a
deputy of the Rights and Freedoms Movement, Lutfi Mestan, said that
"parliaments should not be involved with historic incidents".
"This Armenian resolution would hurt Bulgarian-Turkish relations,"
Mestan underlined.
Another deputy of the Rights and Freedoms Movement, Remzi Osman,
said that bringing such a resolution to the floor of the Bulgarian
Parliament was disrespect to historic realities and the parliament
itself.
