Bulgaria, in fact, has recognized the events in 1915, said Bulgarian MP Yanaki Stoilov, speaking to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In Stoilov’s words, actually, this fact is more important for the modern Bulgarians than the external formulation of the word “genocide.”

He recalled that on April 24, the Bulgarian parliament passed, with a majority of votes, a resolution on the Armenians’ large-scale slaughter in the Ottoman Empire.  

The resolution is important as a confirmation of Bulgaria’s great contribution in saving thousands of Armenians in various phases of history,” Yanaki Stoilov added.
