One of the founders of the Turkish National Liberation Movement in Bulgaria in 1985, for which he served a sentence in the prisons of Sofia, Varna, Bobov Dol and Stara Zagora (1986–1989).

In January 2011, he resigned from the leadership of the MRF and was expelled from the party's parliamentary group after making accusations against party leader Ahmed Dogan.
In the 2014 parliamentary elections, he was a candidate for deputy from the Reformist Bloc, but was not elected as a deputy.
