Any attack on the chairman of the MRF is an attack on the MRF and its voters, said Honorary Chairman of the Movement for Rights and Freedom (MRF) Ahmed Dogan in a special message to the party members on Saturday.

The message was read out by Deputy Chairman of the MRF National Council Filiz Hyusmenova to participants in the commemoration of victims of the so-called "Revival Process" [the forcible assimilation of ethnic Turks in the 1980s] in the village of Medovets.

"I would like to share with you my concerns and worries about the latest distorted forms of democracy in Bulgaria," reads Dogan's message. "There are political forces that are creating new dividing lines and purposely inciting hate speech. One of the clear targets of this destructive activity is once again the MRF and its Chair Mustafa Karadayi. I would like to state clearly: any attack on the chairman of the MRF is an attack on the MRF and its voters. The MRF must resist the political twists and turns of the times! And our chairman Mustafa Karadayi should continue to represent us confidently, wisely and prospectively," Ahmed Dogan stressed.
