Bulgarian MPs held a minute's silence on Wednesday to pay tribute to the victims of the terror attack in Istanbul.

„There is no excuse for such monstrous violence targeting innocent people. In Bulgaria, we all grieve for the innocent victims of this huge tragedy”, Glavchev said before the session of Parliament.

The leaders of the party factions in Parliament have decided to ask Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova to report to the MPs about the measures being taken to ensure the security of Bulgarian citizens in the wake of the terror attack at Instanbul’s Ataturk International Airport that claimed the lives of at least 36 people on Tuesday night.

Security measures at Sofia international airport have been heightened in the wake of the terror attack in Istanbul.
