/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The city council of Varna, Bulgaria, adopted a
resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide.

Besides, April 24 was proclaimed Day of Remembrance of the Armenian
Genocide Victims.

The city council members voiced hope that their decision will help
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by other cities and the Bulgarian
state in tote.

Varna has become the forth Bulgarian city to recognize the Genocide.

The issue was several times raised in the parliament but was always
dropped because of the fear to strain relations with Turkey, RFE/RL
reports citing Bulgarian media.
