| Bulgaria to put more barbed wire along Turkish border, says PM |
| 2016-05-25 |
| Bulgaria will increase the line of barbed wire along its border with Turkey, which it set up to stop the flow of migrants entering the country, from 30 to 146 kilometers in two months’ time, the country’s prime minister has said. The 30-kilometer-long barbed wire fence along Bulgaria’s border with Turkey is not enough to stop migrants from crossing into Bulgaria and will thus be extended to 146 kilometers within the forthcoming two months, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov was quoted by Bulgarian News Agency BTA as saying. Borissov’s comments came as he was inspecting the border line in a chopper along with the Bulgarian interior and defense ministers, according to Doğan News Agency. Turkey has around 270 kilometers of border with Bulgaria. |
