The chairman of the “Association to Fight Unfounded Armenian Allegations” (ASIM-DER), Goksel Gulbey, has been nominated by Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) to run for parliament.  

This news has caused quite a stir, reported Gercekgundem website of Turkey.

Gulbey is known for his anti-Armenian and racist statements and activities. 

Aside from organizing unethical protests against Armenians, he, in 2012, had publicized in social networks the addresses and data of the Istanbul-Armenian organizations, thus making Armenians a target for the Turkish nationalists.

In this connection, several NGOs had filed lawsuits against Goksel Gulbey.
