1. “With today's resolution, the international community has provided for a longer- term and strategic international response to this phenomenon. As a result, all States must now ensure the implementation of an appropriate legal and institutional counter-terrorism architecture, at both the national and global levels, and must ensure that it be systematically strengthened and improved. The Bulgarian Government will follow suit and will urgently propose national legislative measures to that end.”

2. “In that regard, the Bulgarian religious community has taken a firm and united position exemplified by a declaration condemning in the strongest possible terms the activities of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). That declaration was adopted by the Bulgarian General Mufti and supported by the National Council of Religious Communities in Bulgaria. I am so proud to be President of a country where different religious groups live peacefully together and where they have acted immediately and decisively together. Combating radicalization and extremism requires urgent preventive measures, such as support for institution-building, respect for human rights, social inclusion and cohesion, and cooperation with regional and global partners.”

3. “Foreign terrorist fighters pose a very serious threat not only to their countries and regions, but also regionally and globally. Therefore, determined action is required. No country, including my own, is immune, and international cooperation and exchange of operative information, as prescribed by the resolution just adopted, is more than necessary. Terrorist attacks happen everywhere. The terrorist attack of July 2012 at the airport in Sarafovo is yet another example of the spread of the recruitment of foreign fighters for terrorism, and for committing acts of murder and brutal violence. We have seen the ugly face of terrorism in my country. The foreign terrorist fighter phenomenon cannot be attributed to any one religion, ethnicity or region.”

4. “President Plevneliev: We ask you, Secretary Kerry, to please extend our warm regards and special thanks to President Obama for his extraordinary leadership in bringing about, organizing and presiding over today's historic event. We would also like to extend our condolences to our friends and the people of France on the murder of their citizen at the hands of brutal terrorists. Resolution 2178 (2014), of which Bulgaria was a sponsor and which this highly respected body just adopted, represents the international community's decisive stance towards the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters. The resolution further develops the United Nations counter-terrorism framework and highlights the need for strengthened legal measures at both the national and international levels.”
