A Turkish citizen living abroad, Şemsettin Tan, suffered a heart attack in the buffer zone between the Kapıkule and Kapitan Andreevo border gates in Edirne and lost his life.
BULGARIAN AUTHORITIES DID NOT GRANT PERMISSION, AMBULANCE WAITED 20 MINUTES
According to claims, the Turkish ambulance was delayed for about 20 minutes to obtain the necessary permission from Bulgarian authorities to enter the buffer zone and intervene with the patient, and the permission was not granted.
DELAY IN INTERVENTION LED TO FAILURE TO SAVE
The Bulgarian ambulance that arrived later took the patient to Svilengrad State Hospital. Despite the interventions at the hospital, expatriate Tan could not be saved.
THERE IS A GREAT REACTION
Expatriates expressed great outrage over the incident, stating that the bureaucratic obstacles in Bulgaria's emergency medical services have cost lives.
