(Sofia Globe) A solemn commemoration was held at Bourgas Airport on July 18 to mark the 10th anniversary of a terrorist attack in which five Israelis and a Bulgarian died and close to 40 were seriously injured.
In a statement ahead of the commemoration ceremony, Bulgaria’s government said: “We remain intransigent against violence, hatred and encroachments on the lives of innocent citizens.
“Terrorism has no justification. In the fight against it, united by our friendly relations, we continue to develop fruitful cooperation with the Israeli side in the interests of the prosperity of our two peoples,” Bulgaria’s government said.
Those who died in the attack were Israeli citizens Maor Harush, Itzik Kolangi, Amir Menashe, Elior Preiss, Kochava Shriki and Bulgarian Mustafa Kyosov, the driver of the bus that was the target of the terrorist attack.
