The court case against four Bulgarian border police officers, which is being tried in Turkey, has been postponed until 6 July.
The court in Kırklareli accepted the request of the defence attorney of the Bulgarian officers for the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, which was in favour of the Bulgarian side, to be included in the case.
