Bulgaria's GERB to Seek Coalition with Ethnic Turks, Nationalists

As early as Monday, the center-right GERB party of former Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, will start coalition negotiations with the ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms, DPS, and the latter's self-proclaimed archenemies - the far-right nationalist Ataka.
The statement was made for the media Sunday night by the member of the leadership of the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB, Krasimir Velchev.

Velchev spoke after the closing of the polls in the May 12 early general elections.

Exit polls showed that four parties will certainly make their way to Bulgaria's 42nd General Assembly – GERB, the Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, DPS, and Ataka.
