“I witnessed some situations when some politicians, during the difficult events of 14, when there were various difficult situations, called the US Embassy in order to make a decision. For me it was a quiet shock at that moment,” said Gafarov.
It should be noted that the day before, the deputy chairman of the illegal organization, Ilmi Umerov, called on deputies of the Ukrainian Rada to nominate the Majlis for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, reports agency "New Day". Umerov expressed hope that his idea, if approved by the Rada, would be supported by US and European politicians.
