The Head of the Board of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, a member of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, Eskender Bariiev, on the air of ATR TV channel, said that the complete disregard for the so-called election in the territory of the occupied Crimea should be the common position of the Crimean Tatars.
“The participation of the Crimean Tatars in the so-called election will legitimize the occupation of Crimea, all those arrests, searches, and the detention of our compatriots. Before going to the so-called elections, I would recommend to look into the eyes of more than 180 children whose fathers are in prison”,- Bariiev said.
He added that the Crimean Tatars a highly respected nation all over the world, as they are the people that have a principled position – ignoring such illegitimate processes as the so-called elections, referenda, etc.
