Syros received a bullet refugee on the Bulgaria-Turkey border, as German media reported, who was eventually admitted to a Turkish hospital. So far, Sofia has denied that members of the border guard fired on refugees and migrants.
About 65 people tried to cross the border, according to a Bulgarian Interior Ministry press release broadcast on state radio and television.
Video taken on October 3 and verified by German media shows the young man at the border Bulgaria-Turkey, among other refugees. He is seen throwing stones in the direction of the border fence and then a shot is heard and the young man collapses to the ground.
According to reports, analysis of the video showed that the bullet that hit him came from a distance of about 30 meters, in the direction of Bulgarian territory, the Athens-Macedonian News Agency reported, citing DPA.
According to the Bulgarian interior ministry, the migrants were behaving “aggressively”, damaged a police vehicle and injured a border guard.
In November, the European Commission urged Bulgaria to be more “engaged” in dealing with the ever-increasing flows of migrants and refugees. Sofia seeks to join the Schengen area, which guarantees freedom of movement for citizens of member states.
The Bulgarian government has recently been protesting the increase in the flow of migrants and refugees reaching its borders from Turkey and reinforced the strength of the border guard that he has deployed in the region.
A Bulgarian policeman was killed on the border with Turkey on November 8. According to Bulgarian imgs, the bullet that took his life came from Turkish territory.
