The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars wants to register as a representative body of the indigenous people of Ukraine

The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people has submitted documents to the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience of Ukraine to secure its legal status as a representative body of the Crimean Tatar people.

“This morning we launched a historical process for both the Crimean Tatar people and the indigenous peoples of Ukraine and the world,” said Eskender Bariyev, head of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center.
Earlier, the head of the Mejlis, Refat Chubarov, said that after the victory, Crimea should become a national-territorial unit that will forever remain an integral part of Ukraine. “We must develop an independent democratic Ukrainian state. In it, indigenous peoples, including Crimean Tatars, Karaites and Krymchaks, formed on the territory of Crimea. They must receive real political, legal and economic guarantees for their preservation and development,” Chubarov stated.
