Bulgaria supports all actions aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East

Caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov stated before the European Union Summit in Brussels that Bulgaria would support any actions that would help calm the situation in the Middle East.

''This is a conflict in which neither NATO nor the EU are currently involved'', Andrey Gyurov emphasized, adding that Bulgaria would support the common position of de-escalation and the search for a solution to halt military actions and ease all tensions.
