Who from candidates for presidents of Ukraine will manage voices of the Crimean Tatars? Many competitors of the higher state post would like to know the answer to this question. According to the official data of the Central Electoral Commission on elections of 2004 Victor Yushchenko in Crimea was supported almost by 180 thousand persons that has made over 15,4 % voted.

It is considered to be that more than half from them — the Crimean Tatars. Now for their liking all candidates as Medzhilis has promised are ready to be overcome hardly probable not not to limit a choice of compatriots.

The list of desires

The Press-service of Medzhilis has extended recently detailed enough message on a meeting of the leader of national movement of the Crimean Tatars, Mustafy Dzhemilev with Yulia Timoshenko. Apparently, the theme of forthcoming elections was the key moment of an audience. Mustafa Dzhemilev has told a premiere about the selective approach to candidates to whom questionnaires with test questions not only on problems of especially national character, but also on the most sign episodes of foreign policy are dispatched. As it is known, those for national parliament of the Crimean Tatars are the European choice of Ukraine, the introduction into the NATO, the prompt conclusion BF of Russia from Sevastopol. From 18 registered Central Electoral Committees of candidates Medzhilis it is ready to place for consideration o Kurultaj only eight, corresponding, by its criteria, democracy standards. So even in the first round of voting the Crimean Tatars do not remain without recommendations concerning political preferences at a choice of candidates in presidents.? At first we wished to dispatch questions to all applicants for the higher state post, but have then decided that there is no sense to send our questionnaire to communists, Inna Bogoslovskoj, some other candidates ?, — Mr. Dzhemilev has told. However it does not exclude that remained till the December planned for the beginning Kurultaj days the number of potential elects can be reduced. For the sake of the second round to collect national congress any more do not become and will entrust to make a choice to Mrdzhilis. For those who listens to its instructions, it will be reduced to one nominee.

If to trust the message of the press-service of national parliament of the Crimean Tatars, Mrs. Timoshenko has concerned such approach with understanding. However unlike other competitors of liking of the most organised electorate of Ukraine it has certain trumps of which it will not be slow to take advantage. Despite all budgetary problems, in October Julia Vladimirovna has allocated 10 million hrn. On arrangement of repatriates. In the budget the next year the prime minister promises to increase this article of expenses from 3,5 million hrvn., as it is provided in the estimate project, to 124,6 million hrvn. According to the target state program.

Money the problem moral aspect exists money, but also. At a meeting with Mr. Dzhemilev Yulia Timoshenko with ease has promised to withdraw from the Supreme Rada the bill introduced there by the government ?About restoration of the rights of the persons deported to a national sign?. The prime minister if to trust the press-service of Medzhilis, has agreed that the document has declarative character. On behalf of Ministry she is ready to submit for consideration the Supreme Rada a variant of the bill developed by Medzhilis. Moreover, there is Julia Vladimirovny’s basic consent to create, at last, the long-awaited governmental commission on restoration of historical toponymics. Resuscitation of pre-war names of settlements of peninsula here already one and a half ten years is one of the basic requirements of the Crimean Tatars. We will remind that in November, 2008 the corresponding bill was brought in Radu by the deputy from NUNS Oles Dony, but for the last year business and has not moved off dead centre. Now the president’s team initiative it is ready to intercept БЮТ. In a word, everything that would not ask Mustafa-aha at a meeting, hardly would meet flat refusal. And though, according to Mr. Dzhemileva, he perfectly understands that people never so do not lie, as before wedding and elections, «courtship», most likely, has taken place.

Will go to a parallel staff

Nevertheless the weakest place of this pre-election alliance, as well as earlier, there is a human factor. Not a secret that relations of Crimean organisation BJUT and its leader Andrey Senchenko with Medzhilis tense enough, and in former years they reminded ?cold war? more likely. Still two years ago for liking to Mrs. Timoshenko its supporters in national movement of the Crimean Tatars were threatened at least with an excommunication from Medzhilis. In turn from outside a staff «white-warm» in АRC to this organisation charges in corruption and other mortal sins sounded.? I have told Julias Vladimirovna that if Medzhilis the decision to support its nominee on elections will make, it will be necessary to create a separate staff because with mister Senchenko we hardly can work ?, — Mr. Dzhemilev has declared, having explained that the biggest harm which it is possible to put to national movement, is to try to divide the Crimean Tatars. Independent BJUT and Medzhilis, apparently, begin to move to an overall aim parallel courses, at least, until while their interests will coincide.

«White-warm» Andrey Senchenko’s peninsulas such symmetric position quite suits the leader. He is not inclined to exaggerate absolutely not value of an audience of the chairman of national parliament of the Crimean Tatars at the prime minister. The prospect to have behind the back on a narrow electoral field it does not frighten a parallel staff. ?Any street, any apartment house too can create a staff at Timoshenko’s elections. We only welcome these undertakings?, — not without sarcasm the leader local BJUT speaks. As to interpersonal relations at all external stiffness they, according to Mr. Senchenko, remain equal.

With absolute confidence it is possible to assert that parallel official the staff would be created in a case support of Medzhilis any of candidates, and not just Yulia Timoshenko. So was in 2006 and 2007 on parliamentary elections when it supported ?Our Ukraine?, in 2004 — on presidential elections and will be henceforth. Autonomy and exclusiveness — corner stones of a policy of Medzhilis. Thus in Andrey Senchenko’s staff should understand what to reap the fruits of such competition it is necessary not now, and after elections, and somewhat their position more advantageous. To apply for places in service record BJUT on the future parliamentary elections, it is necessary to Medzhilis to improve considerably result «white-warm» on peninsula. Otherwise 6,93 % received in Crimea by the block of Timoshenko on extraordinary elections of 2007 Will automatically go to offset to Andrey Senchenko, and only that will be reached over it, can be challenged as a merit of a parallel staff. To start in the project new to to Mr. Dzhemilev it is necessary from enough high lath, and arguments like ?all the same for? orange ?on peninsula vote only Tatars? hardly will be taken on trust. In some measure relations BJUT with Medzhilis are mirror reflexion of a competition between Party of Regions and Russian community of Crimea. Both at those and at others flowing electorate with rather unsteady border which at times cannot be caught. Thus party leaders and national leaders constantly reproach each other on their rating and liking of voters, however are compelled to co-exist to survive.

Farewell gesture

However, there is an opinion that the main role of Medzhilis in definition of a choice of the compatriots is no more than a myth. ?We analyzed results of voting on those polling districts where the overwhelming majority is made by the Crimean Tatars and it is considered to be that there influence of Medzhilis is the highest, — the leader? Our Ukraine ?in ARC Vladimir Zdyrko has told. — it is valid, in 2002, 2004 approximately 80 % of voters voted here according to recommendations of Medzhilis. However already on parliamentary elections of 2006 and especially in 2007 picture has sharply changed, and to its councils have listened from 20 to 50 % of voters — the Crimean Tatars?.

The chief of a local selective staff of the candidate in Victor Yushchenko Bogdan Dubas’s presidents is assured that Tatars nevertheless will support the operating guarantor as it will be difficult to them ?to change thinking?. It is authentically known that the Crimean question is included in the agenda of the nearest session SNBO. It means that to elections of Mustafa Dzhemilev for certain will meet the head of the state. But it is already difficult to present arguments, which Victor Andreevich could result to incline the Crimean Tatars on the party. According to Mr. Dzhemilev, actually any of the promises of the guarantor given to leaders of national movement throughout last years, and has not been executed. However it does not prevent меджлиса to consider to the chairman Mr. Yushchenko as the patriot of Ukraine, underlining thus that it has not coped with a role of the President.
