"The ten-year time frame shows that either the Bulgarian side knew nothing and only now, when the Czech Republic announced the 2014 incident, suddenly decided to outshine the Czechs and look further back into history, or they knew all the time what was happening, but did not announce it for some reason", Russia‘s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference in Moscow on occassion of the allegations of the Bulgarian side that Russian citizens were most likely involved in organizing explosions at arms factories or depots where ammunition belonging to arms dealer Gebrev has been stored since 2010.
Earlier today, Bulgaria‘s Prosecutor's Office announced that the explosions that took place in four arms depots in Bulgaria over the past 10 years were most likely carried out by officers of the Russian Intelligence. The Prosecutor's Office pointed out that six Russian citizens were in Bulgaria around the dates when the arms depot blasts occurred and attempts were made to poison EMCO’s owner - arms dealer Emilian Gebrev. “The collected evidence points so far to the conclusion that the aim of the actions of the Russian citizens was to stop the supplies to Georgia and Ukraine”, announced the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office.
Gebrev's company EMCO accused Bulgaria’s Prosecutor's Office of trying to mislead the Bulgarian and international public with false facts in connection with the investigation of old explosions of ammunition depots in Bulgaria."The statement that the ammunition was intended for export, including Georgia, is a blatant lie. This lie is easily established with available documents”, notes Gebrev’s company EMCO, adding that only some of the explosions involved EMCO’s ammunition. “What has the Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office been doing all these years and why it is not looking for the perpetrators of "these terrorist acts?", asked EMCO, informed the reporter of the Bulgarian National Radio Silvia Velikova.
