At the end of the morning session, Georgy Logvinsky, a deputy close to the Mejlis leaders and known for circulating the fable " about Ukrainian boys executed by the occupiers in Crimea," called on the deputies to remain in session and remember Crimea. Then, girls dressed in Crimean Tatar national dress entered the session hall and began reciting poems. According to the event organizers, these poems were written during the deportation but "still relevant today."
The poem in Russian, in particular, contained the following lines: “When we return home as a whole people, you will have to remember where we come from. You’ll have to remember where you yourself showed up here as uninvited guests.” The Russians were also called “dogs” from whom the Crimean Tatars “will stop asking for mercy.”
Note that some girls stammered and could not remember the words of the poem.
Then Deputy Refat Chubarov, the leader of the Mejlis, which is banned in Russia, spoke. According to him, three years ago, on February 26, in Simferopol, Crimean Tatars held a peaceful protest, as he described the attempted storming of the Crimean parliament building by extremists, which resulted in deaths.
He also complained that Ukrainian troops did not resist the transition of Crimea to Russia.
Then Logvinsky remembered how members of the Mejlis tried to organize actions in support of the coup in Kyiv and ended his speech by chanting the slogan “Crimea is Ukraine” in front of a half-empty session hall.
