As has specified D.Sejtvelieva, the basic target group of the project is the youth and the Crimean Tatars.
«Experience of the countries of the Central Europe shows that at the general passivity of voters mobilisation of certain groups of electorate which usually do not take part in elections, can affect result of elections. In Crimea such passive electorate is the youth. Besides, them can join and national group — the Crimean Tatars» — project head Ajder Muzhdaba has explained, having added that the Crimean Tatars represent numerical minority in Crimea so, show interest, as a rule, only to local elections where have chance to receive results and to be presented in local governments.
«Considering impossibility of influence on results of elections in all-Ukrainian scale, and also disappointment in activity of present president Victor Yushchenko, the political elite of the Crimean Tatars can tend to idea of nonparticipation in elections in 2010. Unfortunately, it can lead to negative results as the Crimean Tatars for today remain uniform prodemocratic force on peninsula», — considers Ajder Muzhdaba.
