Ahmed Demir Dogan (born March 29, 1954 in Pchelarovo)
is a Bulgarian politician and former chairman
of the Movement
for Rights and Freedoms (DPS).
Life and career
He is the founder
оf the Movement
for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), a liberal party that represents the
interests of the Turkish minority
in Bulgaria.
In September 2007
Dogan's name was listed on an official report of communist-era secret police
collaborators. According to the report, Dogan was a paid agent of the Committee for
State Security from August 1974 until March 1988.
In October 2010,
the Supreme Administrative Court in Sofia acquitted Dogan of corruption in a
case brought by the Parliamentary Commission regarding consulting fees paid in
2008 and 2009 in respect of hydro-power projects.
2013 attack
On January 19,
2013, there was a failed assassination attempt on Dogan at a party congress. An
assailant pointed a gas pistol charged
with blank cartridges at Dogan, which failed to fire. A gas pistol is
a non-leathal self-defense gun, but when used at close range it can be lethal. However,
in this case, the gun may cause injuries, but they would be non-lethal, experts
say. The assailant was identified as Oktay Enimehmedov, an ethnic Turk who
has previously been arrested for drug possession, robberies and hooliganism.
