Bulgaria Says Ready to Evacuate Its Citizens from Syria

Bulgaria is ready to evacuate its citizens from Syria if their lives or health is in danger, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin assured on Friday.

Vigenin told reporters that the country is taking the necessary measures to step up the security of its consulates in the Middle East.

The Foreign Minister once again condemned the use of weapons of mass destruction in Syria, declaring that such an act cannot be left without consequences. However, he did not put the blame of the supposed chemical weapons attack last week to any of the parties in Syria's civil war.

Vigenin once again warned Bulgarians against traveling to Syria and the region.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria's Defense Minister Angel Naydenov assured that the country is following closely the situation in Syria and has been evaluating the military and political risks that stem from it.
