    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish towns terminated twinning with 12 Bulgarian
    municipalities, which recognized the actions of 1915 as Armenian
    Genocide. Turkish Ministry of Interior wrote a circular letter for the
    municipalities to be taken out of the list for twinning towns, Focus
    News informs.

    On the basis of a text of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the
    Ministry of Interior sent a letter to other towns with orders not to
    establish relations of twinning with 12 Bulgarian towns or to
    terminate them if such have already been launched.

    Three Turkish towns terminated twinning after it became clear their
    Bulgarian twin towns recognized Armenian genocide. These are - Bursa,
    Kurkklareli and Adapazara. They terminated twinning with Dobrich,
    Plovdiv and Shumen after the circular letter of July 18, 2008.
