ISTANBUL-Russia will do nothing to impede a German military occupation of Bulgaria, sources close to the Soviet embassy said today, as the Rome-Berlin Axis brought strong pressure on Turkey, seeking a pledge of her non-interference.

Russia's refusal to oppose Germany's thrust was revealed as high quarters in Sofia admitted that "it was only a matter of days" before Germany moves toward Greece by way of Bulgaria and perhaps down through Jugoslavia as well.
