We remind you that earlier the Crimean Tatar Resource Center and the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people launched an information and advocacy campaign “We will return the names we will return Crimea”, which is aimed at restoring historical toponyms in Crimea.
It didn’t take long for the occupiers to react to our information and advocacy campaign. Articles began to appear on the websites of the Russian media that the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, which exists at the expense of the Soros Foundation in Ukraine, took the initiative to rename the cities of Crimea, and also recommended changing the toponymy of the peninsula on all navigation maps.
Moreover, the so-called Crimean experts said that the renaming of the Crimean cities does not matter. What is the comment of political scientist Sergei Kiselev worth:
“Ak-Mesdzhyt is part of the territories that are part of the modern Simferopol, with the same success it can be renamed Naples-Scythian. Ichki is also part of the village of Sovietske. This question is endless and does not make any sense. There is a law on geographical names, special bodies, a procedure that involves naming and renaming. We must act in accordance with the law. As for the Ottoman Empire, it once owned the territory of almost the entire southern coast of Crimea. I have not heard from the Turks proposals for renaming.
Well, we see that our work causes a reaction among the occupiers, which means we are moving in the right direction.
