Bulgaria's Position on Bourgas Investigation Has Not Changed: Foreign Minister

(Sofia Globe - Bulgaria) - Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin has told the Israeli ambassador in Sofia, Shaul Kamisa-Raz, that Bulgaria's position on the results of the investigation into the July 2012 terrorist bomb attack at Bourgas Airport has not changed. This follows Vigenin having been quoted on June 5 as saying that Bulgaria only had an "indication" that the Lebanese-based organization was involved in the terrorist attack, a statement that immediately was interpreted as a backing down by Bulgaria on its February 5 statement linking Hizbullah to the terrorist attack. In an interview with Bulgaria's Standart, underlining that Sofia had not changed its position, Vigenin said: "Regarding the ongoing consultations whether the armed wing of Hizbullah should be put on the list of terrorist organizations, Bulgaria will share the stand reached by all EU members.... So, regardless of some speculations of the media, Bulgaria has not reconsidered its stand on Hizbullah."
