The Association of Syrians in Bulgaria is calling a pro-Presdent Assad rally for Sunday in front of the Syrian embassy in Sofia.

Bashar Al-Assad is facing massive popular protests across the country, which have resulted in the deaths of dozens of citizens.

Sunday he announced he plans within a week to lift the martial law that has been active in Syria since 1963.

The Sunday rally in Sofia will be held under the motto "Stability and Unity."
