Turkey-Bulgaria Border Traffic to Stop Tuesday Night

Society | November 19, 2012, Monday // 16:40

Turkey will temporarily stop all traffic at checkpoints between Bulgaria and Turkey for 7 hours Tuesday night, informed Bulgarian border authorities.

Absolutely no vehicles will be allowed at all three crossing points (Kapitan Andreevo - Kapikule, Lesovo - Hamzabeyli, Malko Tarnovo - Derekoy), 11 pm Tuesday - 6 am Wednesday.

The temporary measure is taken due to a change of the customs and information system at Turkish checkpoints.

Earlier Monday it was reported that huge lines have formed on the Kapitan Andreevo - Kapikule checkpoint, due to a breakdown of the information system on the Bulgarian side.
