Zatulin: Crimean Tatars are pushing on a suicidal path

Crimean Tatars will try to sacrifice political ambitions, and to push for confrontation with other peoples of the Peninsula, said the Director of the Institute of CIS countries, member of the Public chamber of the Russian Federation Konstantin Zatulin.

in his vision, that such is one of the main objectives of the world Congress of the Crimean Tatar people, which will be held in early August in the capital of Turkey Ankara.

The Congress was organized by the leaders of the Majlis (Public organization) of the Crimean Tatars Mustafa Dzhemilev and Refat Chubarov.

"Mr. Mr. Dzhemilev and Chubarov, whom I know since 1993, proceed as notorious sebyalyubtsy. They lost ground, they were shown respect, they proposed that the interaction, but They preferred their own way. Today They are considered direct way would like to put the bulk of the Crimean Tatar residents, so she was sacrificed to their ambition. To set against the Crimean Tatars on the Russian Federation itself, to do it from abroad, do it outside of Crimea is a suicidal path for the Crimean Tatar people, " - said Zatulin correspondents.

He believes that the Crimean Tatars do not succumb to all sorts of provocations.

Zatulin believes that the leaders of the Majlis serve their people, not the best service if you are ready for the sake of their ambition and wounded pride " throw all the Crimean Tatar people into confrontation with other Nations, to destroy his chances of well-being and peaceful life in the Crimea."

"And the renegades, where are these political leaders is that sooner or later They will leave, and the sharpness in this issue will disappear," - said Zatulin.

last Saturday in the Crimean capital of the participants of the national conference of Crimean Tatars, called the planned world Congress of the Crimean Tatar people as illegitimate. They asked the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan not to participate in the Congress, because Congress in Ankara, in their opinion, does not reflect the opinion of the Crimean Tatars of the Crimea.

The Majlis, which claims to be the organ of national government about 260 thousand Crimean Tatars, long headed people's the people's Deputy of Ukraine Mustafa Dzhemilev. In 2013 this post was replaced by Refat Chubarov. Afterward as in 2014, the Crimea joined Russia, both were 5 years old are prohibited to enter the Republic: the regional government has been told that their policy actions have contributed to the incitement of ethnic hatred.
