He introduced his colleague to the latest draft of amendments to the law on religious denominations in our country. Since I took office, I insist on such a law, Radev emphasized. In his words, Erdogan accepted this with a good attitude. We must ensure that all denominations in Bulgaria are satisfied with the results of this law, Radev noted.
I frankly told President Erdogan that Turkey was a neighbor, a partner and an important ally for us. We want to develop good relations with Turkey, and that is why I pledge not to leave open questions. Therefore, I urged Turkey as soon as possible to invite the Bulgarian-Turkish joint working group on property and social affairs to consider the compensation of Thracian refugees, he added.
