Bulgaria may recognize so called Armenian 'genocide'.
Bulgaria’s conservative Order, Law, and Justice (RZS) party on Thursday submitted to Parliament an official declaration asking Bulgaria to condemn so called Armenian 'genocide'.
The declaration is in connection with the Thursday visit of Turkish Foreign Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, to Bulgaria and statements of Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the country is prepared to deport 100,000 Armenians from Turkey.
RZS is also requesting an official answer from Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, about the policy of his cabinet regarding so called Armenian genocide.
The party leader, Yane Yanev, says they aim at reaching a consensus about Bulgaria’s assessment of the tragic events and giving a clear statement in defense of "historical truth" as the US and Sweden have done, Sofia News Agency reports.
The US Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee and the Swedish Parliament recently approved resolutions recognizing Armenian genocide allegations, stirring outrage in Turkey.
