" If Mr. Dancho Tsonev does not know the poem "I am Bulgarian", to read it. They call me a Turk too, they might call me a Gypsy too, but anyway, so what? Can the ethnic card be pulled today when you are in a weak position. When you see that in the Balkans they recognize the Bulgarian ethnic model, to go through a transition into totalitarianism and for Dogan to have created this thing and for Dogan to pull out the ethnic card is unacceptable".
This was stated by the former DPS deputy and now independent MP Ramadan Atalay to journalists in the Party House.
He explained that he heard the interview of Yordan Tsonev on bTV, who repeats everywhere that there is ethnic tension.
"Let Mr. Dancho Tsonev not pay dividends and not play with the ethnic card. Whoever pulls out the ethnic card, I think is leaving politics," Ramadan Atalai pointed out.
