"There can be no other definition of what we are witnessing, except that this act is not legitimate, it is not in accordance with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) statute, and this act is clearly adopted under the pressure of fear", said the co-chairman of MRF Jevdet Chakarov, regarding his exclusion and the MPs who supported Ahmed Dogan from the parliamentary group (PG) of the MRF, BGNES reported.

The expelled MPs from the MRF PG will prepare a position, consult with lawyers, and will present it in the coming days. "You see the style and the approach, special attention is paid to it by Dogan. Threats have been made against each of us," Chakarov announced.

He commented that many MRF sympathizers do not support this approach. "We fully stand behind our honorary chairman, Dr. Ahmed Dogan, for the fact that we need to return democratic principles to the functioning of the MRF, to overcome fear," Chakarov is emphatic. | BGNES
