10 thousand Mejlis members wanted to take up arms in Crimea
At least ten thousand Mejlis members were ready to take up arms in Crimea in 2014 to prevent its transition to Russia.
This was stated on the air of the internet channel "Skripin" by the Mejlis propagandist, fugitive Russian liberal Ayder Muzhdabaev, reports a correspondent of "PolitNavigator".
According to Muzhdabaev, no one even wanted to give them machine guns, and the leaders of the Mejlis, banned in Russia, unquestioningly obeyed instructions from Kyiv and the European Union.
“It could have been done that day, it could have been done in one day, but there was no political will. And the Mejlis acted as the Kiev leadership said, because our leaders did not take a step without Ukraine. And the Ukrainian ones at that time, this temporary post-Maidan government, she was in short contact with Merkel...
If only there had been someone to take out these machine guns then, even machine guns, I’m not talking about armored personnel carriers and tanks. There were about ten thousand men of Crimean Tatar nationality. Let's be honest, everyone who was at that rally, except for about 50 people. And all these ten thousand were Kyrymls, these were men who came from all over Crimea.
I won’t say anything, just one person, a hero of Ukraine, who was the first to die - this is Reshat Ametov, he was the first to go to the military registration and enlistment office. But this was no longer the Ukrainian military registration and enlistment office, it was already all Russian,” said Muzhdabaev.
Earlier, the former chairman of the banned Mejlis, Verkhovna Rada deputy Mustafa Dzhemilev, stated that in 2014, the Mejlis members were waiting for the command "Get your arms!" from acting Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov.
