The fence at the Bulgaria-Turkey border does not perform its function, Bulgaria’s investigating journalist and MP Elena Yoncheva, who has been working in the recent months on the topic related to the condition and the effectiveness of that border, said in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio. I was many times at the Bulgaria-Turkey border and I must say that I witnessed several times how a group of 30 to 40 people, of whom one-third were children and babies, literally crossed the border fence in 6 to 10 minutes, Elena Yoncheva said. MP Yoncheva is taking part at the 13th international conference Terrorism and Electronic Media held between September 26 and 29 in Sofia. Experts from over 20 countries joined the conference.
