Quick to react, Dogan struck the man, before the trigger could be pulled.
Other people then wrestled the would be shooter down, and held him til security recovered.
Dogan, fifty-eight, the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, was uninjured.
He had been giving his farewell address, as he stepped down from leading the party.
Twenty-five year old Oktai Enimehmedov was arrested for attempted assassination.
Enimehmedov did suffer injuries, mostly from being semi beaten by the people who wrestled him down, and then assaulted him.
Police are looking into his motive for the attempted attack.
It is unclear where security was as he climbed the stage or how he got a gun past them, but they are being investigated for the laxness.
Here's a video of the occurrence:
