Yane Yanev, the controversial leader of Bulgaria's marginal conservative Law, Order and Justice party, has filed a declaration condemning Iran's nuclear program.
The declaration filed in Bulgaria's Parliament confirms the conclusions made by the European Council and the EU Foreign Affairs Council and describes Iran's nuclear program as "one of the most serious threats for global peace," the BGNES news agency has reported.
"With this declaration, Bulgaria has the chance to prove that it is a predictable partner and express its solidarity to the international community's efforts to preserve the established legislative order and the international agreements," the conservative party has said in a statement.
Yanev's party demands that Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov hand a diplomatic note to the Iranian Ambassador in Sofia presenting the declaration as Bulgaria's official position.
Meanwhile, senior United Nations nuclear inspectors have arrived in Tehran for two days of talks on Iran's disputed nuclear program, the second U.N. visit in three weeks.
