Moustafa Djemilev, leader historique de cette communauté musulmane, qui a à maintes reprises dénoncé "l'annexion" de la péninsule ukrainienne à la Russie a été interdit d'accès sur le territoire russe pour cinq ans. Vendredi il a été empêché de prendre un avion via Moscou pour la Crimée. Il a été forcé de revenir à Kiev.
Le Medjlis, assemblée des Tatars de Crimée, a alors décidé de l'accueillir samedi matin à un check-point de la ville d'Armiansk, proche de l'Ukraine, afin que le leader rejoigne la péninsule par la terre ferme, ce qu'il n'a finalement pas réussi à faire. Plus de 2.000 Tatars de Crimée sont arrivés en voiture à Armiansk afin de franchir la ligne de démarcation pour rencontrer M. Djemilev, qui les attendait de l'autre côté du check-point. Une cinquantaine de policiers anti-émeute les attendait.
Une courte bagarre a eu lieu, des coups de feu ont été tirés en l'air, mais les Tatars ont réussi à passer le check-point et à retrouver M. Djemilev, drapeaux ukrainiens à la main. Le gouverneur par intérim de la Crimée, Sergueï Axionov a dénoncé "une provocation". "Djemilev essaie délibérément de semer le chaos", a-t-il ajouté. (Belga)

- Crimean leader asks local Tatars to remember all people ‘children of big family’...
Crimea’s acting Head Sergei Aksyonov said all ethnic groups on the peninsula should live not as accidental fellow travelers but as children of one big family.
“I would like to recall the wise words said by our fellow citizen, an outstanding enlightener of the Crimean Tatars, Ismail Gasprinsky: ‘All people should live not as accidental fellow travellers or neighbours but as children of a big family of nations’,” the CrimeaInform news agency quoted Aksyonov as saying on Saturday, May 3, congratulating Crimean Tatars on their Khydyrlez holiday.
He said work was underway at the federal and regional levels to improve social infrastructure and improve the quality of life in Crimea.
“The Council of Ministers and the local authorities feel the constant support of President Vladimir Putin and the government of the country. The presidential decree ‘On Measures to Rehabilitate the Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Crimean Tatar, and German Peoples and on State Support for Their Revival and Development’ is already being fleshed out,” Aksyonov said, adding that a target republican programme was being drafted to support deported people up to the year 2020. “It will be implemented by all means,” he said.
Aksyonov said provocative actions by the supporters of former Crimean Tatar Majlis (parliament) Mustafa Dzhemilev to break through the Russian border in the north of Crimea were a crime.
“Law enforcement agencies are working under the laws of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Crimea. The breaking through the border by Crimean Tatars is a crime for which its organisers will be held accountable,” he said, adding that “this is nothing but a provocation aimed at destabilising the situation”.
Preliminary negotiations were conducted with Dzhemilev’s supporters earlier, during which the initiators of the action were briefed on the border crossing rules and told that no one would be allowed to enter Crimea for provocative purposes.
“Nevertheless, Dzhemilev is deliberately trying to create chaos and is pushing certain Crimean Tatars towards criminal offences,” Aksyonov said.
He said these actions would get a proper assessment from law enforcement agencies.
The State Council (parliament) of the Republic of Crimea has included Dzhemilev, who is a member of the Ukrainian Batkivshchina (Fatherland) party, in the list of persons whose presence on the peninsula is not advisable because of his anti-Crimean statements and actions.
When Dzhemilev tried to enter Crimea on Saturday, May 3, a group of his supporters made an attempt to break through the border-crossing point.

Crimean Tatar leader Abdulcemil Kirimoglu has returned to Kiev after he was denied entry into the Crimean peninsula by Russian forces.....
ReplyDeleteHe had been barred on Friday from entering Russia via a Moscow Airport, having to use land transport through Kiev to reach the peninsula, which declared its independence from Ukraine to join Russia in March.
Welcomed by thousands of Crimean Tatars who were expecting him to come in, Kirimoglu failed to go in through the checkpoint, saying he would return to the Ukrainian capital.
Kirimoglu urged for calm among his supporters, calling on them to continue a non-violent struggle against the ‘existing regime.’
Earlier on Saturday, Crimea's Tatar National Assembly called off religious spring celebrations set in a few days’ time to protest Kirimoglu’s being denied entry.
On the Ukrainian border leading to the peninsula, Kirimoglu reportedly tried to go in but was stonewalled by Russian soldiers.
In late April, Russian officials had reassured Kirimoglu he was freed to enter Russia, despite rumors to the contrary.
At the border on Saturday, Russian troops fired into the air, not letting thousands of Crimean Tatars – including President of the National Assembly, Rifat Cubarov and Crimean Deputy Prime Minister, Lenur Islamov - pass the Armyansk checkpoint.
Tatars climbing over the roadblocks met Kirimoglu in a buffer zone after he passed the checkpoint on the Ukrainian side. Upon this incident, Russian soldiers reportedly called for back-up and closed the border gate........................http://www.aa.com.tr/en/rss/322239--crimean-tatar-leader-denied-entry-into-crimea
