POPE JOHN PAUL II-"THE TIMES"-BULGARIA-COMMENTARY. BTA Foreign Minister Describes as "Unworthy" Insinuations of Bulgarian Involvement in Attempt at Pope's Life. Sofia, April 13 (BTA) - "I think all insinuations that Bulgaria was involved in the attempt at Pope John Paul II's life are extremely unworthy," Foreign Minister Solomon Passy said in an interview for Darik radio Saturday. Passy was asked to comment a report in "The Times" that former interior minister Atanas Semerdjiev and former police archive chief Nanka Serkedjieva were convicted of destroying former State Security files. According to the daily's reporter, the destroyed files used to contain information on the attempt at the life of Pope John Paul II. "The Bulgarian secret service is believed to have supported the Turkish right-wing activist Mehmet Ali Agca in his unsuccessful assassination attempt," writes the paper. According to Foreign Minister Passy, the Pope's forthcoming visit to Bulgaria in May is the best answer to all attacks implying that Bulgaria was involved in his failed assassination.
