Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov has reiterated that the 25-year-old man who attacked key ethnic Turkish politician Ahmed Dogan with a gas pistol last week will be likely charged with hooliganism and issuing a death threat.
Ahmed Dogan, founder and leader of the ethnic Turkish DPS party ("Movement for Rights and Freedoms"), was the target of a gas pistol attack right on the floor of a party conference on Saturday by 25-year-old Oktay Enimehmedov, also a Bulgarian citizen from ethnic Turkish origin. No shots were fired. Enimehmedov was lynched by DPS delegates after the attack.
Tsvetanov reminded on Friday that experts have been assigned to prepare reports on the case.
"We have standards, we have experts, so let's wait and see, let's allow them to finish their work," he stated.
Enimehmedov says he did not actually want to kill Dogan, but to scare him. The gun was established to have been a gas pistol, which cannot kill a person.
