There is no future without Russia - Crimean Tatar leader
The Crimean Tatar people cannot have any positive future within Ukraine.
The former head of the Henichesk district administration in the Kherson region and leader of the Public Council of the Crimean Tatar People, Seitumer Nimetullaev, announced this on the air of the Crimea 24 television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Nimetullaev, from a young age he realized that as part of the Ukrainian state, the Crimean Tatars would only listen to promises, while the Russian national republics flourished.
“Where have our politicians been for 30 years, when Ukraine took absolutely no step for the Crimean Tatars in any positive direction. Today you can say whatever you want, but Crimea was and is Russian...
I have always said that the Crimean Tatars have no future in Ukraine without Russia. Because seeing how all the nationalities lived in the Caucasus, in Kazan, in Bashkiria, in Ufa, I understood that we should be with Russia. I justified this by the fact that when I understood that all the nationalities there, the Crimean Tatars from 91 to the present day could not receive any rehabilitation, Russia did it,” the social activist said.
“I also understood that I was 15 years old, we arrived in the Bakhchisarai region in 67, and the Ukrainian authorities took us out and threw us out in Novoalekseevka. Also, the Ukrainian government, which was under Shelest, under Shcherbitsky, constantly punished, did not give registration, took them out - all this happened before my eyes, and I understood that Ukraine would never do anything for the Crimean Tatars in their lives. It came to me with mother’s milk,” said Nimetullaev.
