Crimean Tatars to hold referendum on autonomy
"In the life of every nation there comes a time when it must make decisions that determine its future," the chairman of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis Refat Chubarov, said before the 250 delegates who had gathered in the former capital of the Crimean Tatar Khanate, Bakhchisaray. "I ask you to approve the start of political and legal procedures aimed at creating ethnic and territorial autonomy for the Crimean Tatars on their historic homeland," Chubarov said.
- Crimea's indigenous population, the 300,000-strong Tatar community boycotted the March 16 referendum that saw the region vote for unification with Russia.
- Deported en masse in 1944 by Moscow to Central Asia, the Tatars are deeply suspicious of the Kremlin's intentions for the community.
Dzhemileva's husband, renowned Soviet dissident and current Ukrainian MP Mustafa Dzhemilev, will discuss the plight of the Crimean Tatars with the UN Security Council next week.
- In addition to boycotting the Russian-backed referendum, the Tatars fear Moscow will outlaw community councils, including the mejlis and national assembly, as Russian law bans represented bodies outside the legislative and executive branches of government.
- The Tatars were allowed to return to Crimea in the late 1980s as the Soviet Union began to dissolve. Many illegally acquired empty land plots to build new homes. Over the years, their property rights were upheld by Ukraine as ownership was formally transferred to those residing or working on the sites.
A date for the upcoming referendum on autonomy has not been set.

Crimean Tatars ask int’l agencies to support their ethnic autonomy in Crimea...
ReplyDeleteSelf-governance assembly of the Crimean Tatars (which is called the Kurultai in the Crimean Tatar language) has passed a decision to turn to international organizations for rendering support to this indigenous ethnic group’s right for an ethnic autonomy in the Crimean Peninsula.
As many as 212 of the 217 participants in a session of the Assembly, which is broadly viewed as an unofficial parliament of the Crimean Tatar people, voted in favor of the decision.
“The Kurultai of the Crimean Tatars is asking the UN, the Council of Europe, the EU, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Islamic Organization Organization, the parliaments and governments of other countries to support the right of our people for self-determination in the form of an ethnic/territorial autonomy in Crimea, which is our ancestral homeland,” the Kurultai’s resolution says.
“Commencement of political and legal procedures for setting up an ethnic/territorial autonomy of the Crimean Tatar people in its ancestral homeland, the Crimean Peninsula, is announced hereby,” the document says.

The Crimean Tatars and the Ottomans...
ReplyDeleteCrimea has occupied the headlines for weeks now and while Russia has proclaimed it to be a part of Russia, few realize that it was closely connected with the Ottoman Empire from the 15th to the 18th century.
The Crimean peninsula has been occupied by humans ever since prehistoric times with abundant archaeological evidence to back this up. The Crimea was occupied by Scythians, Greeks, Romans and Byzantines until the Mongol invasion in the mid-13th century. The Genoese then took over the settlements that Venice had set up on the peninsula as part of its trade in the Black Sea.
The Mongol invasion brought the Tatars to the Crimea. Their rulers claimed they were descendants of Genghis Khan. By the mid-13th century they had set up a khanate that included the Crimean peninsula and in the 15th century named Giray Khan their ruler. After a struggle against rivals, he succeeded in taking the throne in 1449..............http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/the-crimean-tatars-and-the-ottomans.aspx?pageID=238&nID=64230&NewsCatID=438

L'autonomie, une perspective abstraite pour les Tatars de Crimée...
ReplyDeleteSous un austère foulard islamique, le regard bleu persan d'Anife se trouble: comme beaucoup à Bakhtchissaraï, la capitale des Tatars de Crimée, cette jeune femme s'avoue perplexe quant aux velléités d'autonomie de sa communauté.
"Nous n'avons pas compris ce qui s'est passé", explique dans un anglais parfait cette ancienne étudiante en économie de 24 ans, assise paisiblement avec son époux dans des jardins pavés du XVe siècle, l'ancien palais des Tatars de Crimée.
Samedi, les représentants de cette minorité musulmane ont voté une motion en faveur de son autonomie sur sa terre historique, maintenant rattachée à la Russie. Mais ils sont restés divisés sur la manière de s'engager avec les nouvelles autorités.
"Dans les conditions actuelles, je ne crois pas que l'autonomie puisse protéger nos intérêts. Ils ne savent pas eux-mêmes ce qu'ils attendent", poursuit la jeune femme, qui remarque à peine l'épais chat gris qui se dandine entre ses mollets.
Elle assure qu'elle ne regrettera pas l'Ukraine. "Mais j'ai peur que ce soit pire avec la Russie, à cause des antécédents", ajoute-t-elle en posant ses mains sur son ventre rebondi de femme enceinte.............http://www.rtl.be/info/monde/europe/1080098/l-autonomie-une-perspective-abstraite-pour-les-tatars-de-crimee

Russia refuses to attend UN Security Council’s informal meeting with pro-Kiev activists...
ReplyDeleteUNITED NATIONS, April 01, /ITAR-TASS/. Russia stayed away from an informal meeting of UN Security Council with pro-Kiev activists - journalist Valentyna Samar and the former president of the Mejlis (Council) of the Crimean Tatar people, Mustafa Dzhemilev.
Russian Federation’s mission at the UN issued a statement dismissing the event organized by Lithuania as a ‘propaganda show’ that did not have anything to do with the Security Council’s activity.
“We categorically refuse to associate with the Security Council the propaganda show sponsored by Lithuania and involving odious personalities,” the mission said. “A get-together of this kind cannot a priori provide whatever unbiased information on the situation in Crimea, a constituent territory of the Russian Federation.”
“Quite naturally, the Russian delegation will ignore this tasteless undertaking,” the report said.
The meeting with the activists bolstering the regime in Kiev was held under the so-called Arria Formula, which envisions free discussions between diplomats and the representatives of civic society and nongovernmental organizations. The Russian mission’s statement noted a misuse of the format.
“It was devised for confidential discussions of knotty political issues but it used at times as a tool for self-advertising in front of the mass media […], and this undermines the Security Council’s reputation,” the statement said.
The Lithuanian delegation to the UN peddled the informal meeting as an open one but half an hour after its start when, reporters were asked to leave the hall Mustafa Dzhemilev was delivering his anti-Russian speech.
“This is a wish of the Lithuanian delegation,” a worker of the UN Secretariat taking part in the event told Itar-Tass.
Crimean Tatars Want UN Peacekeepers...
DeleteThe leader of the Crimean Tatars says he wants international peacekeeping forces sent to the Black Sea peninsula, which Russia recently annexed from Ukraine.
Veteran human rights campaigner Mustafa Dzhemilev, served six sentences in Soviet prison camps from 1966 to 1986. He spoke Monday in New York at an informal U.N. Security Council session organized by Lithuania.
After the meeting, Dzhemilev told VOA's Russian service he feared Crimean Tatars could be the targets of violence under Russian rule, and he would like to see international peacekeepers deployed to Crimea..................http://www.voanews.com/content/crimean-tatars-want-un-peacekeepers/1883983.html

Turkey condemned the forceful removal of the Ukrainian flag in the Crimean Tatar Mejlis (assembly) by a group with unmarked military uniforms on Monday...
ReplyDeleteTurkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Wednesday that "it is worrying for the safety of the Crimean Tatars to see the local forces without any security precautions."
When the Ukrainian flag was removed with force, it was replaced it with a Crimean one in the Crimean Tatar assembly building Monday.
Lilya Muslimova, Press Secretary of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis, said that those with military uniforms were brought to the building by bus with a Russian flag and she added that she was threatened by the military group.
The Ukrainian flag was also removed on another occasion from the building after the March 16th referendum, but was erected again on March 19th after Mustafa Abdulcemil Kirimoglu, Ukrainian MP came to Crimea.
Meanwhile on April 22, Crimean News Agency claimed that the Crimean Tatar Leader Mustafa Kirimoglu was handed an 'act notice of unauthorized entry to Russian Federation' by the Russian authorities, banning him from entering the Russian Federation and Crimea for five years.
Turkey's foreign ministry also emphasized the "peaceful efforts" made by the Crimean Tatar Leader for "securing the Crimean Tatars' future in their homeland" in the statement.
