We would like to remind that ‘Crimean fig/Qırım inciri’ is a Ukrainian-Crimean Tatar literary project, which was founded in 2018. It aims to promote the dissemination and development of Crimean Tatar language and literature, to actualise the theme of Crimea and Crimean Tatars in Ukrainian literature, and to promote the emergence of mutual translations for deeper mutual understanding of two cultures.
Eskender Bariiev, Chairman of the Board of the Crimean Tatar Resource Centre, member of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, joined the event.
‘The people who write, not only leave themselves in the history of mankind, but also form their philosophical thought, which is necessary not only for their future, but also for all mankind…’ – he emphasized.
