"We cannot be a direct target for Iran", said Acting Defense Minister Atanas Zapryanov.
He spoke after the end of the Security Council meeting, convened earlier today by Acting Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov in connection with the escalating military actions in the Middle East region.
There is no direct military threat to Bulgaria. It is not participating in this conflict, Zapryanov pointed out.
We believe that it is not possible for us to be targeted as a country that is actively participating in such an operation, he added.
