Bulgarian MEP calls for boost of Iran-EU ties

He made the remarks in a meeting with Iran's Ambassador to Sofia Abdollah Norouzi on Friday.

Members of European Parliament have a wrong and incomplete understanding of Iran, Kyuchyuk said.

He urged increase of consultations between Iranian officials and the European Parliament to boost the MEPs' information on Iran and its rich history and culture.

Kyuchyuk praised Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s speech in the European parliament in February.

Kyuchyuk, a Muslim, represents Bulgaria in the European Parliament and is a member of Bulgaria Movement for Rights and Freedoms.
