Bulgaria recognizes the 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine as genocide

Bulgaria’s National Assembly passed a resolution Wednesday recognizing the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933 as genocide and condemning its perpetrators, BTA reported.

An overwhelming majority of 134 MPs supported the resolution, and 26 voted against it, with no abstentions.

The resolution declares that a Day of Memory for the Victims of the Ukraine Holodomor will be observed on the last Saturday of November.

Parliament also considers any act that denies, justifies and plays down this genocide an act of desecration of the memory of the millions of people who perished in the Holodomor, the document says.
