Ataka Leader Siderov Finds Security Services' Reports about Turkey Much Less Detailed than Media's

Sofia, July 19 (BTA) - The parliamentary committees on Internal Security and Public Order, and Foreign Affairs held a joint closed meeting on Tuesday in Parliament to hear representatives of the security services, the Interior Ministry and the Foreign Ministry about the situation in Turkey.

Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Ataka leader Volen Siderov said that the reports presented by the heads of the security services sounded much less detailed than the information circulated daily by the media. He described the reports as contradicting, because according to one of them what is happening in Turkey would not generate a risk for Bulgaria, while another report notes that Turkey is becoming ever more
unstable, which could lead to collisions and refugee waves.

According to Siderov Bulgaria is not well protected, because if a large flow of migrants heads towards the border, there would nothing to stop them. He believes there is a risk for Bulgaria, but the security services have failed to make a good and full analysis.

Findings and information from the international media are being reiterated, while the State is lacking a concept about what must be done to ensure this country's protection, he said.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Bulgarian Socialist Party MP Yanaki Stoilov said that there are risks for Bulgaria, but at the moment they do not appear as imminent threat.

Among the participants in the hearing were the deputy ministers of interior and foreign affairs, Filip Gounev and Valentin Poryazov, the heads of the State Agency for National Security, the State Intelligence Agency, the Defence Information Service and the Border Police.
