Müslüm Doğan

Müslüm Doğan (born 15 October 1959) is a Turkish politician of Kurdish origin[1] who served as the Minister of Development in the interim election government formed by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu on 28 August 2015.

Doğan spent much of his career in the Civil Service, working for the Social Security Institution (Turkish: Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu, abbreviated SGK) as a branch manager and deputy bureau chairman.

Doğan was one of the three HDP MPs invited by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu to take part in the interim election government that was formed after coalition negotiations proved unsuccessful and resulted in a new election being called for November 2015.

On 22 September 2015, Doğan and the other HDP cabinet minister Ali Haydar Konca submitted their resignations to Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who accepted and stated that he would appoint their replacements as a matter of urgency.

[7] In a press conference shortly after submitting their resignations, the two ministers stated that they had resigned due to disagreements in the interim election cabinet and accused the AKP of ignoring the democratic will of the people to instead create a 'concept of war' in the south-east.
