After a meeting of the Central Operational Bureau of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party, the Democracy, Rights and Freedoms - MRF parliamentary group (DRF-MRF) took several important decisions, Ilhan Kyuchyuk from the formation's Governing Council told journalists here on Tuesday. The Bureau elected Hayri Sadakov as Floor Leader of the DRF-MRF, he added.

"We will definitely not unite with corrupt political figures," he commented, referring to a meeting earlier on Tuesday between then DRF-MRF Floor Leader Dzhevdet Chakarov and MRF-New Beginning Floor Leader Delyan Peevski.

In an announcement on the meeting, the MRF-New Beginning parliamentary group said that Chakarov resigned as Chairman of the MRF in order to "close the page of disunity and confrontation that have marked the last months." Afterwards, Chakarov announced that he was also leaving the DRF-MRF parliamentary group. In a statement to BTA, he said that after Tuesday's conversation with Peevski, he had decided to step down as co-chairman of the MRF in order to put an end to the division between the people.
