Prime Minister Boyko Borissov congratulated Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the election victory in today's early presidential and parliamentary elections in the southern neighbor.
"I am convinced that the will of the Turkish people, as expressed today, will serve as the basis for a stable and consolidated development of Turkey in all areas," the Bulgarian Prime Minister said. He expressed satisfaction with the increased contacts between Bulgaria and Turkey in the recent years and said he relied on the continuation of the active bilateral cooperation. "I believe that we will work together to strengthen the relations between our two countries in the field of migration, as well as in the name of peace and stability in the region," said Boyko Borissov. He briefed Erdogan on the position he presented to the European leaders in Brussels today that the agreement with Turkey should continue to be implemented so as to overcome the migrant crisis and informed that he once again urged the EU to make the remaining payments of the funds that were committed in the agreement.
The Turkish President thanked the Bulgarian Prime Minister and expressed hope for an even more successful partnership between the two countries.
