Head of the Board of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, head of the Department of Legal Affairs and Foreign Affairs of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Eskender Bariiev in an interview with Espreso TV channel emphasized that the Crimean Tatars are actively conducting information work among their fellow countrymen in the occupied Crimea.
“We are actively working with our fellow countrymen to hide them from the occupying army and not to go to war against Ukraine, or better choose the option of being in a pre-trial detention center, but not fighting against their people. If someone has already been drafted into the occupying army, then we urge you to surrender to Ukrainian troops”,- he said.
Bariiev noticed that the occupants go to the houses of the Crimean Tatars. According to him, this was recorded both in Simferopol and in other areas of the temporarily occupied Crimea.
“Representatives of the military commissariats come there and keep records of who is at home and who is not. They also separately note who served in military service in Russia, or signed a contract, whether he had experience of serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or in the Soviet army”,- Bariiev explained.
