Bulgaria calls for full investigation into deaths in Odessa, calls on Kyiv to ensure order

Bulgarian Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin has called for a full investigation into the deaths in clashes in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, and said that ensuring order in Ukraine is primarily the responsibility of the government in Kyiv and in particular the authorities in Odessa.

Vigenin, who holds the foreign ministry portfolio in the Bulgarian Socialist Party cabinet, was speaking to public broadcaster Bulgarian National Radio on May 3, a day after violence in Odessa led to the deaths reportedly of more than 40 people.



Calling for a full investigation into the violence, Vigenin said that there should be “no mercy for the killers”.

“I expect that urgent action be taken so that the unrest and violence of yesterday will not spread to other cities in the area because it would destabilise the area and in this case affect areas where the most Bulgarians live,” Vigenin said.

He called for for more restraint, understanding and dialogue in order to stop the provocations from all sides.


 “What happened yesterday in Odessa is monstrous and is subject to the strongest condemnation. I would like to express on my behalf and on behalf of Bulgaria our most sincere condolences to the families and relatives of the victims,” Vigenin said............http://sofiaglobe.com/2014/05/03/bulgaria-calls-for-full-investigation-into-deaths-in-odessa-calls-on-kyiv-to-ensure-order/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bulgaria-calls-for-full-investigation-into-deaths-in-odessa-calls-on-kyiv-to-ensure-order
