The leader of the conservative RZS ("Order, Law, Justice") party, Yane Yanev, has declared that Turkey's intervention in Bulgaria's internal affairs during Sunday's Parliamentary Elections was unprecedented.

During his post-election press conference, Yanev said his party had information about the involvement of the Turkish state and secret services in organizing an intervention in Bulgaria's affairs by supporting the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS).

Yanev also announced that RZS had informed top EU politicians about this data, and that it would be presented during a special press conference on Wednesday.

"We almost doubled our votes since the EU Elections a month ago. 5% of the Bulgarians voters supported us. We managed to defeat the Madrid scoundrel (meaning former Tsar and former PM Simeon Saxe-Coburg whose party NMSP got 2,9% and did not make it to the next Parliament - editor's note), and we managed to defeat the corporation of Kovachki (the LIDER party of energy tycoon Kovachki - editor's note), which has been supported by Dogan's DPS", said Yanev.

He confirmed the two top goals of his party - rooting out corruption and convening a Grand National Assembly in order to adopt a new Constitution.

Yanev congratulated the winners from the GERB party, and said his RZS was mostly interested in legislative activities, and not in participating in the executive branch; still, it was going to be open for cooperation with GERB.

The RZS leader pointed out that between 700 000 and 1 000 000 voters in Sunday's elections were controlled in one way or another - through corporate and administrative measures, vote-buying, and criminal activities.

"If Todor Zhivkov (Bulgaria's communist dictator - editor's note) was captured in his residence after 33 years in power, Ahmed Dogan (DPS leader - editor's note) is also going to be captured in his seraglios", Yanev declared accusing Dogan of various violations.

According to the latest vote counting results, Yanev's party is going to have 9-10 MPs, thus being the smallest group in the new Bulgarian Parliament.
