Russian Foreign Minister with Ironic Commentary on Allegations of Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a commentary on the statement by the Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office that it was "good that we have not yet been charged with the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand in 1914."

At a press conference in Moscow Lavrov also said:

"As regards the claims of the Bulgarian side that it suspects Russian citizens of planting explosives at military plants or places where the production of the arms dealer Gebrev has been stored since 2010, the very 10-year time frame shows that either the Bulgarians knew nothing and suddenly decided to surpass the Czechs, who now probe into the events of 2014 in a bid to take a closer look at a historical retrospective, or all along knew what was going on, but did not report it for some reason."
