Foreign Ministry spokesperson to Bulgaria: “Any cooperation in attacks against Iran will, from the standpoint of international law, be considered complicity in aggression and war crimes.”

Ismail Baqai said: “There is no doubt that any party that, in any way, participates in carrying out military aggression against Iran must accept responsibility for the consequences of that.”

The Bulgarian government has announced that it will request permission from parliament to deploy up to eight American refueling aircraft at an air base in the country.
