Bulgaria Tightens Control On Turkey Border To Prevent Migrant Inflow

Bulgaria says it is tightening security along its border with Turkey to prevent an inflow of illegal migrants amid reports that Ankara may be relaxing its border controls to allow Syrian refugees to enter the European Union.

"Forces have already been deployed at the border and measures to protect the maritime border have been intensified," Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said on February 28 during a government meeting.

Amid an escalation of the Syrian conflict, Turkish media reported that hundreds of migrants were flocking to Turkey's borders with Greece and Bulgaria after a senior official was quoted as saying Ankara had decided "not to stop Syrian refugees from reaching Europe."

Police, coast-guard, and border-security officials were ordered to stand down on refugees' land and sea crossings toward Europe, the unidentified Turkish official told Reuters.

Bulgarian Defense Minister Krasimir Karakachanov said Sofia was ready to deploy up to 1,000 troops and 140 pieces of military equipment to the border with Turkey to prevent illegal migrant inflows.

Border police had prevented two groups of about 30 people from entering the country from Turkey, according to his ministry.

The development comes as Turkey said at least 33 of its soldiers had died in a Syrian government attack in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib, the last rebel stronghold in the country.

Turkey, which backs Syrian rebels, said it hit 200 government targets in response, "neutralizing" 309 soldiers.

Russia, Syria's key military ally, said Turkish troops were attacked by Syrian forces while operating alongside militant fighters -- an allegation rejected by Ankara.

And Greece has completely shut her border with Turkey, and dispatched 50 Naval Patrol Boats to the Greek Isles to watch the sea coast.

How often do you hear in the news of whites fleeing to Africa?

This is Buzludzah in Romania. It once was Romania's Communist headquarters and is now a ruin. This spot is hallowed ground because of a rebellion there of Christians against the Ottoman empire. Of course communism was not an improvement. The Communists built it here because this is where the last battle against the communists was lost.

AOC can be seen crying here because this former communist headquarter went into ruin after the fall of the Soviet Union. Since Bulgaria knows what it is like to live under Mozlem rule and Turkey under Erdogan has now degenerated back under Islamic shadow I suggest they refurbish the former headquarters into a Christian Church!

Keeping Mozlem invaders at bay, however, is a good start.

That’s kind of a cool in terms of design. Construction looks to have been shoddy, otherwise somebody might spruce it up and turn it into a spiffy casino.

There is an effort to turn it into a museum.http://www.buzludzha-monument.com/
