CTRC launched a board campaign for the Day of the Crimean Tatar flag

June 23, 2022

The Crimean Tatar Resource Center has launched an information board campaign throughout Ukraine dedicated to the Day of the Crimean Tatar flag, which is traditionally celebrated on June 26th.

With the beginning of the occupation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia in 2014, it was the Crimean Tatars who experienced terrible repressions because of their pro-Ukrainian position. Under such conditions, the Crimean Tatar flag has become a symbol of the struggle for Crimea not only for the Crimean Tatars themselves, but also for Ukraine as a whole.

Today, in the conditions of a full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars are fighting side by side to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

It is important for citizens of Ukraine to be informed about the Day of the Crimean Tatar Flag and understand that in addition to common colors on our flags, we have one goal – a free, integral and independent Ukraine.

In the photo you can see the posters in Lutsk. Subsequently, similar boards can be seen in other cities of Ukraine (Uzhhorod, Rivne region, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kropyvnytskyy, Fastiv, Cherkasy, Baryshivka, Brovary, Vyshneve, Boryspil, Kyiv and Lviv).

The posters were developed by the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, activists of the international movement for the de-occupation of Crimea and solidarity with the Crimean Tatar people #LIBERATECRIMEA and Ukrainian artist Andrii Yermolenko.

Thanks to the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, the NGO Crimean Tatars of Volyn and the Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea for supporting this information campaign.
