< Dear ladies and gentlemen!
The dramatic events in Ukraine - heavy clashes people on Independence with the ruling regime in Kiev, protesting citizens overthrow the corrupt clan Yanukovych and the subsequent invasion of Russian troops on our territory, the occupation of the Crimea, holding occupation regime of so-called "referendum" on the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, accession these territories to Russia justifiably attracted attention and concern of the world community.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to, I would like to evaluate these events from the perspective of representatives of indigenous peoples of the Crimea - Crimean Tatars, in any case, the vast majority of the people, because I represent the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people - single and supreme representative body of the Crimean Tatars, democratically elected by the Crimean Tatars.
Yanukovych regime - corrupt from top to bottom and almost gangster, was known at the same time very hostile and against Crimean Tatars, as they are considered by the authorities and the SBU as a major in the Crimea highly organized and the main opposition force to the ruling regime. They did not vote in the presidential election for the candidacy of President Yanukovych and traditionally cooperated mainly with the national-democratic forces in Ukraine. Therefore Yanukovych regime almost completely withdrew from the solution of social problems of the Crimean Tatars, to promote further reduce the already extremely minimal representation of Crimean Tatars in the executive branch of autonomy held against them is extremely discriminatory and hostile policy. For example, if the current Crimean Tatars constitute about 14% of the population of autonomy, in the executive branch of the ARC of representation does not exceed 2-3 per cent.
Yanukovych regime conducted intensive policy on making a split in among the Crimean Tatars, ie there was an attempt, however, is not entirely successful, to encourage all sorts of privileges and positions of those Crimean Tatars, who contrary to the interests of their people to fulfill the will of the authorities.
The authorities did not recognize themselves elected representative body of the Crimean Tatars Majlis and tried to expose the true representatives of the people created by the small political groups from among the Crimean Tatars.
About the same attitude to the Crimean Tatars and their Majlis was the attitude of official Moscow and who treat them, as is clear from the operational documents of the FSB, as "a major political force, preventing the implementation of strategic interests in the Crimea", so the Crimean Tatars, understandably, actively Maidan and maintained despite the large costly, hundreds came to Kiev to support the protesters against the regime, their fellow citizens, especially as the power of Autonomy, was sent to Kiev for the budget column of buses trains and thousands of public employees to organize pro-government "antimaydanovskih" provocative rallies and clashes with peaceful demonstrators citizens on Independence.
Overthrow of the regime of Yanukovych, which followed after the crackdown "berkutovtsami" about a hundred wounded and several thousand of our patriots, creating a new democratic government in Kiev has given great hope of the Crimean Tatars. But as you know, in late February, the invasion of the territory of Crimea Russian troops. First organized by the Black Sea Fleet Russian gang of so-called "self-defense groups" and "Cossacks" captured public institutions in the Crimea, in the first instance, BP and SM Crimea, the SBU, the prosecutor's office and the police, and then come and do the Russian troops.
The main argument to justify these actions, as you know, is the assertion that Ukraine would like to set the actual "power Bandera", which supposedly oppressed and discriminated against ethnic Russian. Of course, this is completely untrue. Firstly, in the new government, and in key positions, there are quite a lot of people of other nationalities, including Russian, Jews, Armenians and others. Nobody clocked and parliament, where as you know, Russian and pro-Russian deputies, including a fairly large fraction of the pro-Russian Communists were in the majority.
But it was especially cynical statement about the oppression of Russian in the Crimea, where, in fact, the invasion of Russian troops.
To cite just a few figures. 58% of the population is ethnic Russian Crimea, about 24% - ethnic Ukrainians, most of which can also be counted among the Russian, as a result of the Russification policy, rarely one of them speaks and thinks in their native language. The media, published in the Crimea, including for the budget, are Russian-speaking. Ethnic Russian are at least 90% of heads of executive power in the Crimea. Of the 600 school educational institutions in the Crimea only 14 teaching in the Crimean Tatar language, a 7-Ukrainian, and in all other in Russian.
In order to justify the invasion of Russian annexation of the Crimea and wax, as you know, in the Crimea and Sevastopol, March 16, 2014 were carried out so-called "referendum" on the subject of whether the residents want the accession of these territories to Russia. It makes no sense to talk about the illegality and absurdity of this "referendum" in the occupied territory, without any admission whatsoever of international observers. Absurd at all to solve the question of ownership of a particular region, area or village to any State on the basis of the local "referendum" - if desired, in the same Crimea, perhaps you can find several towns, who wanted to join the more prosperous economically other states, such as the United States, to neighboring Turkey, Switzerland or Japan.
Absurd and approval of the occupation authorities that by "referendum" they wanted to reveal the will "of the Crimean people" and to satisfy its "right to self-determination" in accordance with international standards, for there is no such "Crimean people" and the right to self-determination can only belong to indigenous peoples. And the indigenous people of Crimea - Crimean Tatars overwhelmingly boycotted the "referendum". Established that approximately 0, 5% of the Crimean Tatars took part in the referendum and not the fact that they certainly voted for annexation to Russia. The total participation of the inhabitants of the Crimea in the "referendum" on the information available to us, was not 82%, as stated by the occupation authorities, and a total of 32, 4%.
A few words about what position now were Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians and many ethnic Russian who wish to remain part of Ukraine and do not want to take Russian citizenship.
In accordance with the established rules of the occupying forces, all residents within a month should get Russian passports. Citizens who refuse to do so, will be treated as foreign citizens will have the right to vote, the right to work in state institutions and, accordingly, will be deprived of their livelihood. Thus, they will be forced to leave their homeland. Can you imagine what it's like for the Crimean Tatars, who after deportation and genocide of 1944 a few years fighting for the right to return to their homeland.
Among them, the extremely high level of anxiety and concern for their future and even for his life, as organized by the authorities and patrol the paramilitary groups that call themselves by troops "self" or "Cossacks" are openly talking about the need to re deportation of the Crimean Tatars. Very high level of possible bloody ethnic conflicts, more precisely, the massacre of the Crimean Tatars and ethnic Ukrainians who can turn around in the near future in the territory of Crimea. There are facts, and this is quite a lot written in the press, that the house, living dispersed Crimean Tatars, unequivocally, in the night, unknown persons are marked by crosses or other marks.
Pretty ordinary steel in Crimea beating vykradyvaniya and killing people who for one or another form of expressing their opposition to the occupation regime. In addition, it is no secret, and that people who have taken one Russian citizenship in the future will be completely prevented even discuss the question of the status of its territory and holding on this score any referenda, because, in accordance with Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian , any talk on this subject will be treated as a call for separatism, provide up to 5 years imprisonment.
To date, according to the representation of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Ukraine, the Crimea has left about 5,000 Crimean Tatars and, apparently, not fewer people of other nationalities.
Citizens of Ukraine, of course, welcomed the sanctions Western countries to impose sanctions aimed at aggressor to withdraw its troops and liberate the occupied territories. But these sanctions overwhelming majority of citizens are perceived as manifestly inadequate and reminiscent only as "pinpricks" for elephant.
Of concern and the recent increase in the statements of various Western political scientists and public figures in the sense that the Crimea is already lost, it is unlikely in the coming years it will be possible to release and that all efforts should be made to ensure that Russian troops moved further inland Ukraine. If such a position will prevail, then the citizens of Ukraine will mean that the great powers that have signed the 1994 Budapest Memorandum guaranteeing the security and territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons, simply deceived.
Already in Ukraine is growing mood of the country at any cost should restore its nuclear status, since it is clear that no country would dare be so brazen to occupy the territory of a nuclear power.
We hope that the international community will be taken sufficiently effective measures to liberate our country from occupation and the prevention of such acts of aggression against sovereign states.
