A petition backed by several thousand people has been followed by Bulgarian citizenship being conferred on an Iranian-born doctor who had lost his job as the head of the hospital in Isperih because he was not a Bulgarian citizen. The decree conferring citizenship on Dr Abdullah Zargar was signed on February 5 – a week after a report by the Minister of Justice was lodged with the Presidency.
