We have not the slightest confidence in the group. We call on the people we respect, not to take part in this performance. This group was created for fraud. It helps the government to create the appearance of a dialogue, at the time, there is as not real desire to release political prisoners not. It is a circus, and self-respecting people should not participate in this farce," said Yunus. -16D-
