"Let's summarize the politics of today. Those, who rule the country now, the so-called tri-party Coalition, quickly forgot all their promises, sunk into robbery, corruption and into anti-Bulgarian and anti-social politics. This is why we oppose the tri-party Coalition. But there is one, even more sinister reason. The current tri-party Coalition says "yes" on Turkey becoming an EU member. Brothers and sisters, Bulgarians! What would Turkey's EU membership mean for Europe? I will tell you with facts and numbers. Turkey currently has a population of 70 millions. The Muslim country will rule the EU; will have the most Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), the most votes. It will tell everyone what to do and what not to do. I will tell you what they are going to do - they will build mosques all over, they will place a minaret on top of the Eiffel Tower. This is what Turkey will want in the EU. As far as Bulgaria is concerned, we are doomed to extinction. When Turkey joins the EU, the Turkish yoke, the one our national heroes fought against, will resume once again," the leader of the Bulgarian nationalist "Ataka" Party, Volen Siderov, told the crowd of supporters, who gathered Tuesday in front of the "Alexander Nevsky" cathedral in downtown Sofia to participate in a meeting dedicated to the 131st anniversary of the country's Liberation from Ottoman dominance.
The "Ataka" leader promised that the Party MEPs would demand that Turkey admits they have imposed five-century genocide on Bulgarian people and as long as there was one single "Ataka" member alive, they would insist that Turkey apologizes to Bulgaria.
