Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slammed Bulgaria for “putting pressure” on expatriate Turks ahead of the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria at a conference of the Federation of Balkan Associations taking place in Ankara, Reuters reports.
“On the one hand you say democracy, on the other you are putting pressure on Turks. This is unacceptable. On the one hand you talk of the EU legal acquis, on the other you do exactly the opposite. This cannot be,” Erdogan said.
