Eskender Bariiev, Chairman of the Board of the Crimean Tatar Resource
Center, member of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, during the
presentation of draft policies of the Expert Network of the
International Crimea Platform for representatives of the diplomatic
corps in Ukraine and international organizations, noted the importance
of institutionalizing the Crimea Platform.
“It is very important for us to make these initiatives that emerge in
Ukraine and the international platforms that Ukraine is trying to
create more effective. In particular, the Crimea Platform is the
first international platform where other countries have joined
together with Ukraine to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine
and deoccupy Crimea, so every new initiative, whether it is the Peace
Formula or the Victory Plan, must have a collegial position. And for
this purpose, it is necessary that the International Crimea Platform
is institutionalized, conducts systematic work, has a strategy and
action plan for the deoccupation of Crimea and its reintegration,” he
explained.
The expert emphasized that such platforms as the Crimea Platform will
only have results if the Crimea Platform itself has a sustainable development. The role of the International Crimea Platform Expert Network is very important, because high-quality analytical materials are necessary for the formation of the policy of deoccupation of Crimea not only for Ukraine, but also for all partner countries.
