The people’s deputy of Ukraine and deputies of Supreme Soviet of Crimea, members of government — all of them took and take responsibility for resettlement, prosperity and as a whole for destiny of our suffering people.

We know from history that wise politicians don’t fight against consequences, but prevent them. But…

As a bolt from the blue for thousands Crimean Tatars became information on bringing into force the Law of Ukraine «On regulation of town-planning activity», which was adopted by the people’s deputies 17th February 2011, in which were included amendments toughening penalty sanctions.

Big fines are provided for exploitation of not legalized objects (up to 300 m2 of habitation), relating to first category of complexity — 18 minimal salaries (more 18000 UAH)

What does it mean?

Namely, our compatriots settle on their historical Motherland already more 20 years, using own money for building of individual houses.

I name some figures for understanding of the question.

According to the information of the Chairman of Supreme Soviet of the ARC V.Konstantinov, «for 20 years were allotted 67000 land plots for deported Crimean Tatars» minus 25% not built, having no state documents on land because of economical difficulties, we receive about 50000 land plots, on which Crimean Tatars built houses with different of level readiness.

Under words of the presenter of program «Bu afta» on TV channel ATR we get to know that of 100% persons building own house in Crimea 80% are namely Crimean Tatar families.

As a result, these persons already can get to penalty sanctions of the adopted Law.

Logical question: where was our people’s deputy of Ukraine and chairman of Mejlis Mustafa Dzhemilev 22nd December 2011, when was amended the Law of Ukraine «On regulation of town-planning activity»?

Entering in web-site of the Parliament of Ukraine, we cleared up that, during bringing amendments in the Law, the people’s deputy of Ukraine M. Dzhemilev was absent in general. According to the information of press-service of Mejlis, namely 22nd December 2011 the people’s deputy Dzhemilev visited Turkey. Web-site of Mejlis doesn’t give any information about goals and results of this trip.

Thus, knowing about preparation of extremely negative amendments in Law «On regulation of town-planning activity» for Crimean Tatars, namely, in day of debate on these amendments, the «national leader» Dzhemilev not only not appeared against these amendments, but simply left Ukraine.

Apparently, the people’s deputy has more important deals than problems of the people…

Why, knowing all complexity of the situation on resettlement, with high level unemployment, knowing about compatriots being in places of exile who want return to the historical Motherland, the people’s deputy and chairman of Milli Mejlis didn’t bring positive amendments in abovementioned Law for own people?

Why he didn’t propose to provide for any temporary measures?

For years people are not able to receive state documents and technical ones not because of their laziness or stupidity, but because of the excessive appetites of the project enterprises and open delaying of all possible terms on the hand of officials.

Unfortunately, our statesmen are occupied not with expectations and protection of interests of the people, but particularly, own enrichment, pursuit for state awards and different prizes.
