Afghanistan would shut its embassy in Bulgaria and open a mission in Greece in a few months to assist thousand of illegal migrants in that country, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday.
The embassy in Athens would open by the end of March to address the problems of Afghans living there.
About 50,000 Afghans unlawfully entered Greece every year in the hope of making their way to Europe countries, he added.
A large number of the illegal Afghans in Greece repented their mistake and desired to come back to their homeland, he added.
