Everybody knowns in Ukraine about future presidential elections. Last presidential election will be unprecedented. The quantity of nominees will be much more, than it was supposed. If in the previous elections obvious applicants were Yushchenko and Yanukovych already are in the lead Yanukovych, Timoshenko, Jatsenjuk, Litvin. They are followed by Gritsenko, Moroz, Bogoslovskaya, Simonenko etc. quantity to 30. To become the president today, it is necessary to have only two and a half one million grivnas and the Central Electoral Committee will register your nominee. And further all depends on God. Absolutely clearly that to the ending who has more money will come and they are two candidates — one from Party of Regions, another from BYT. The Crimean Tatars need to think and not to appear seriously the next time in a trap. Give all together we will look back and we will analyse the actions. Were both Kravchuks, and Kuchmas, and Yushchenko. Who has helped with the fair decision of an ethnic question?

Yushchenko, undoubtedly, the great democrat, but Ukraine for some reason has not moved a little neither in economic, nor in the political plan.

We from apart look at the West, i.e. in the European Union. Believe, us there take not soon because we have not dealt with a question of corruption which has overflowed the state, we are in a deep economic crisis, the huge debts taken from IMF, do not solve a problem of national minorities. Any of candidates in presidents cannot at the given stage to deal with a statehood question of the Crimean Tatar people for one reason — anybody from applicants will not want to lose electorate, as the majority — the Russian-speaking population. The only thing that will rescue us in the present state of affairs, not to choose to itself in the present state of affairs an idol.

Each Crimean Tatar should make a definitive choice for itself.
