UN Secretary General Kofi Annan expressed his hopes that Tuesday's hearing of the appeal of the Bulgarian nurses sentenced to death in Libya will bring good news to the entire Bulgarian nation.
Annan talked to Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Solomon Passy in New York, during the final day of the official visit of Bulgaria's top diplomat to the US.
Libya's Supreme Court convenes Tuesday for the appeal hearing against the death sentences passed on five Bulgarian nurses for allegedly infecting with AIDS more than 400 Libyan children.
In May 2004 Libya found five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor guilty of having caused the death of 40 children and of infecting more than 400 others with HIV at a Benghazi hospital.
