Russia to react to Bulgaria’s closure of airspace to Russian Syria-bound planes — lawmaker
“We will remember this unfriendly move and will find adequate answers,” Levichev said.
MOSCOW, September 8 /TASS/. Russia has warned Bulgaria that it’s going to react adequately to a decision to close Bulgarian airspace to Russian planes flying relief cargoes to Syria, Nikolay Levichev, the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament) vice-speaker and a member of the Duma Committee for Foreign Affairs, told TASS on Tuesday.
“We will remember this unfriendly move and will find adequate answers,” Levichev said. “The Bulgarian leadership which made that decision – whatever the reasons behind it could be – has joined the camp of adversaries of the existing system of international relations,” the vice-speaker went on to say. “Closing access to its airspace to planes with relief cargoes for the war-torn Syria is an inhumane and clearly short-sighted act,” the Russian politician stressed.
