,,The case from Kardzhali was transferred to the Pazardzhik Prosecutor's Office in order to be able to come up with an indictment decree. No Kardjali prosecutor wanted to press charges.”
This was stated by the former mayor of Kardzhali, Hasan Aziz, in the program "EuroDikoff", who was imposed the lightest measure of non-abortion - signature.
The case was transferred to the Pazardzhik prosecutor's office.
,,Within a month and a half for the cleaning of a gully, which is located within the limits of the city of Kardzhali and which is within the powers and duties of the mayor of the municipality, I have signed invoices for 68 thousand and 660 BGN, with which I have exceeded the threshold for announcement of a public procurement with about 8 thousand 660 BGN and this case the prosecutor's office for a crime. It is about BGN 8,666, not BGN 800,000.”
The case is from 2022. Asan Khazis is also being investigated for a case from 15 years ago.
,,Each mayor signs hundreds of documents and contracts in the course of his work. In my 20-year administration, I have signed many such. So yes, there is a possibility that similar actions will be taken against any mayor.”
,,The question here is why and for what reason, within the framework of the busy pre-election period, these actions are directed at the previous mayor of Kardzhali. Why do the judiciary target certain political persons who support a specific political party.
After the split of DPS, Hassan Aziz categorically took the side of honorary chairman Ahmed Dogan.
,,From now on, the most important thing is to clarify why this is happening and whether this is not a gross violation of human rights in several directions. First of all, this is a gross violation of a person's right to express his political beliefs. Secondly, this violation of my constitutional rights due to the imposition of a restraining order on me - because of this measure, I will not have the right to leave the limits of my location according to address registration - the city of Kardzhali. “
,,The measure also violates my rights to develop political and social activities, as I am currently a member of the party's central council. Being a member of the national council, I am charged with the responsibility for the organization and my political work within the Kardzhali region, in Turkey and in Europe. Last but not least, knowing my workplace, which is outside Kardzhali, this measure limits my constitutional right to work. “
