Bulgarians stage demonstration against NATO
[Iran Press TV] Bulgarians have held a protest rally to express their anger at military operations conducted by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... ) in the East European country. On Sunday, demonstrators erupted into the streets of the capital city of Sofia to call on NATO to leave Bulgaria, which joined the Western military alliance in March 2004. They were holding banners reading, "Barbaric American bases -- out of Bulgaria! STOP the killing" and "Stop the occupation and colonial administration - NATO out of Bulgaria - the future is in sovereign countries." In an address to the rally, Yane Ivanov, the protest leader, said, "Unfortunately, Bulgaria at the moment is being ruled by this criminal institution -- NATO." The march came after five NATO patrol ships entered the eastern Bulgarian port of Varna as part of a joint training exercise with Bulgaria, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Romania. Bulgarians also marched in Sofia last month to condemn a government plan to install a NATO military command base inside the country.
