«The sensational» statement of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Jury Lutsenko for, ostensibly, preparing attempt at chairman Milli Medzhlis, Mustafa Dzhemilev and his statement that Milli Firka — the Prorussian grouping, except a smile cannot cause anything.
Similar «sensations» have been quite expected after a verdict of the Public meeting which has passed in Sudak on October, 4th on which its participants unanimously declared leaders of Milli Medzhlis traitors of the Crimean Tatar people. Those who stand up for their backs who fostered them 20 years, aspired to that Crimean Tatar problem in Crimea did not dare, have felt changes in moods of the people towards the strongest disappointment a policy of the Ukrainian authorities concerning the Crimean Tatars and Crimea as a whole. Not a secret that from the middle of 1990 leaders of Milli Medzhlis became absolutely operated by the Ukrainian power, and there is no necessity to explain how it solved problems of the Crimean Tatars. Any of strategic problems of the nation, I mean the Order of the people and the Declaration on the national sovereignty of the Crimean Tatar people, for today is not solved. Homecoming of compatriots from reference places is completely blocked. Links with our brothers — the Turkic states are broken. Anything essential it is not made in respect of preservation of a native language, increase of its status in Crimea. Moreover, the course on people Ukrainization is taken. The same is observed and concerning toponymics. The interesting fact at meeting in Sudak was sounded by the delegate of present Kurultaj Enver Kurtiev. It appears, during the stay of its deputy of SR АRC, the Supreme body of Crimea was ready to accept the Decision about restoration of historical toponymics. But the vice-president of the Supreme body of that time and the leader of fraction «Kurultaij» Refat Chubarov has literally forbidden to Crimean Tatar deputies to vote for this decision. And it has not passed. Such facts it is possible to result much. I do not speak about a problem of restoration of national statehood.
So, everything becomes to rescue promptly falling image of leaders of Medzhilis among the people, to withdraw them from responsibility for all their unseemly acts. Of affairs to brag there is nothing, any sensations therefore are invented, honorary titles and awards are distributed on the left-to the right. It is asked, for what such successes? On light there is a version about ostensibly attempt at M.Dzhemilev. I am assured, no attempts of resuscitation of the gone bankrupt politician any more will help. 7th process over M.Dzhemilev has actually begun, this time it will be led by the Crimean Tatar people and its political forces, is firm standing on principles of the Order of the people and the Declaration on the national sovereignty.
Concerning M.Dzhemilev’s insinuations to «Milli Firka», about ostensibly Prorussian roots of the project, they do not maintain any criticism. Today Milli Firka is the command which has passed political school and Milli Medzhlis, from within studied habits of leaders and risen against their policy therefore has been expelled from structure Milli Medzhlis (R.Ablaev even was certain time acting Chairman of Medzhlis). They are the people who have passed school of J.Osmanov and representatives present of the Crimean Tatar intelligency, the nations thinking of the future. The party creation initiative has arisen three years ago when many veterans of national movement, politicians have thought of a question — how to unite the nation. We have created party and we build it from below. It is exclusively national project. It is not directed neither against Ukraine, nor against Russia, or Islam and Moslems. It is created for the main task decision — revival of the Crimean Tatar nations, its preservations and development in 21 century.
Eventually, the people will be the main judge. It will decide whom to support. Elections of next year in Crimea will show, on whose party of its liking.
