Dzhevdet Ibryam Chakarov is a Turkish Bulgarian politician who is a long term and current Member of the National Assembly of Bulgaria. A member of the DPS party, he also served as the Minister of Environment and Waters from 2005 to 2009.[1] Since 2024, Chakarov has been the co-leader of the DPS party alongside Delyan Peevski.[2]

Prior to becoming politically active, Chakarov worked as a surgeon. He has said, “My calling is to be a doctor, I'm used to people seeking me out. I find the similarity in politics and medicine - you have to listen, to respond to the pain of the other.”[3]
