According to Kun.uz, the young man’s body was found lodged between large coastal rocks. His friends – citizens of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Moldova – discovered the body after nine hours of searching.
As noted by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Akhror Burkhanov, immediately after receiving information about the tragedy, contact was established with Uzbekistan’s Consulate General in Istanbul, which oversees Bulgaria. Diplomats are in contact with the victim’s family and are cooperating with the Bulgarian authorities to resolve all logistical matters.
