Bulgarian–Turkish relations are foreign relations between Bulgaria and Turkey. Bulgaria has an embassy in Ankara, 2 general consulates in Istanbul and Edirne and a chancellery in Bursa. Turkey has an embassy in Sofia and 2 general consulates in Plovdiv and Burgas. Both countries are full members of NATO. Also Bulgaria is an EU member and Turkey is a candidate. Because of strong diplomatic pressure, and economic relations between Turkey, the National Assembly of Bulgaria rejected the Armenian Genocide recognition bill in 2007.[1] The independence of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire was proclaimed on 5 October [O.S. 22 September] 1908 in the old Bulgarian capital Tarnovo by Prince (Knyaz) (afterwards Tsar) Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
