so bulgaria's position was very clear on one thing. we need enhanced forward presence of nato in the black sea, even with the limitations of the convention. but we need that enhanced presence. it needs to be under the flag of nato and under the command -- under the maritime command of nato. so that was basically our position. it is, right now and it will be during the meeting of the ministers of defense in october. this -- because what nato does is, without trying to provoke anyone to build defense capabilities and deterrence capabilities. and exactly that is what we're looking at in the black sea. of course together with our partners, what nato countries have black sea access, and at the same time we would, we would be -- we would like to see more common nato presence, not only the black sea countries to be involved in this, not regionalization of the black sea again. because you know that there are several black sea formats. none of them are working. none of them. so now what we need in this case is nato presence. the nato flag in th

our correspondent met one of them in bulgaria. reporter: these people are part of a vigilante group trainining enablele gary and o orest. theieir mission, to intercept refugees across into the country from turkey. this 57-year-old was a soldier in the bulgarian armed forces sitting in the headquarters, he says most migrants are the enemy and need to be pushed back out of the country. >> it is well-known that thousands of i.s. fighters have traveled into european c countrs pretending to be refugees. no less than 30% of the refugees are actually i.s. fighters. 10% are prepared for suicide attacks. then there are other fighters who are sent to europe with many women and children. they will collapse the social welfare system. reporter: claims of horror stories becoming reality have led thousands of bulgarians to join vigilante groups. they are made up of police and military officers but also teachers and students. accocording to this professor of local science, it has become a mass phenomenon. >> they have the support of the populatio

as you know, bulgaria has 10% of muslim population. this engagement is extremely important. the radical forwards or action up to extremes and feeding isis with ideas which are basically imcompatible with the modern world, whatever world it is. their ideology is inhumane and completely and on stleet and unacceptable for anyone. i will stop here on that. i'm sure you will have questions. the big news or positive news was also the declaration, the joint declaration between the european union and nato, work that has not been done for, was done in a few months and here we need to give credit for the general of nato and also for pushing this forwardened and achieving this closeness. and identifying nato can join forces in order to tackle common challenges, one of them is the migration process. pressures on u.s. borders. it's tackling basically the human trafficking that works and criminal activities of -- related to human trafficking in that area. >> i'm tempted to ask but i will wave my questions as others are requesting, i want to remind that this is on the record and because yo

[laughter] >> but they do that. i have looked at the table of contents on many harvard law reviews. mr. stevens: and yell, they don't do any of that? maybe in some future life i will, but i don't have time today. >> what is your advice for aspiring, legal academics? ms. kagan: it is a mistake that all legal academics have to be writing for the court. i think there --i think that it i

am not a legal expert but this seems to me the way i read it there is a possibility for a base in bulgaria and romania because the situation has changed but the authorities are the russian experts need to look at that but in addition we know that the iraqi kurds would love to have the u.s. presence and would be delighted although it is very tricky particular with the baghdad focus policy. >> so with the strategic implications can you talk about of value of the democracy and what we're doing or can do to stop the losses there greg. >> gaveled begin by saying the cruel irony of all the conspiracy theories is that more than anything in turkey or democratization or isis with the united states has counted on is maintaining a semblance of stability in turkey itself with the coup attempt this is the first time it seems like there is a possibility to be really disruptive with violence which is furthered by the resurgence of the war against the pkk. that is something that will preoccupy u.s. policy makers more and more. now with that said there may be a tendency to look at that separate from a ques
