"Twenty thousand refugees are arriving in Bulgaria," says Bulgarian daily Sega at a time when the country is already facing a rising tide of migrants, mostly coming from Syria and Afghanistan.
On October 9 alone, 121 people were stopped at the Turkish border, says the paper. Because of this, Sega explains, people smugglers are now attempting to reach Bulgaria by sea. A vessel with 24 Afghans on board was intercepted near Cap Kaliakra on the Black Sea coast.
