“The disaster that struck us showed the compassion of the Bulgarians irrespective of our religion and convictions and the representatives of all religious communities opened their temples and hearts for the affected by the disaster. The people saw how Muslim refugees offered help to restore orthodox monasteries. This is also happening today, in Bulgaria, and makes us proud of the yet another proof that solidarity is a universal value, that humanness and the helping hand lent have no religion.” This is what the Head of State said in his address to the participants in the Iftar dinner, organized on the occasion of the Holy for the Muslims month of Ramadan.
