Meanwhile, we are concerned with the rights of the Christians in the conflict zones, Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier for Judicial Reform and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva told Bulgaria’s Patriarch Neophyte during their meeting at the Sofia Bishopric on Tuesday, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
