President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has sent an authorized representative of the president of Ukraine on affairs of the Crimean Tatar people, Ukraine's parliamentarian, leader of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Dzhemilev, as his own representative for participation in the work of the sixth Congress of AKP," Chubarov wrote on his Facebook page.

Chubarov also informed that the Russian delegation was headed by the State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin to participate as guests.

... As a part of the Russian delegation, a Crimean collaborator, deputy of the State Duma Ruslan Balbek, appeared on the arrival in Ankara. As the Turkish side did not give the preliminary consent to include the Russian Federation delegation to the congress, the Crimean collaborator Ruslan Balbek, the unwanted "guest" was not admitted. Instead of the solemn hall where the AKP Congress was held, the servant of Russian invaders Ruslan Balbek was escorted to the Russian embassy where he can wait until the State Duma delegation leaves for Moscow," he said.
