The financial support Turkey has provided to Bulgaria in the fight against Covid-19 so far has reached 210,000 euros, said Turkish Ambassador to Sofia Aylin Sekizkök. She added that the aid would continue until the end of the holy month of Ramadan (May 24).

We are facing the largest movement of people since the Middle Ages. They are moving to the borders of Turkey in waves of hundreds of thousands. However, migration to Bulgaria will remain zero on its border with Turkey, the Ambassador said. I see myself as part of the Bulgarian family of bureaucrats and ministers as we discuss issues together on a daily basis. They help us and we help them, Ambassador Sekizkök added.
