Statements about the mass relocation of the Crimean Tatars from the Crimea after the Peninsula became part of Russia, was not confirmed, said the head of the state Department for state registration and cadastre of the Crimea Alexander Spiridonov.

"Statements about the mass Exodus of the Crimean Tatars - this is complete nonsense and not supported by simple transactions in real estate. It is logical that, going to Kiev, Kherson, you have somewhere and something to live for. Any mass that is different from the General picture of sale of real estate on a national basis to the Crimean Tatars massively sold housing, " Spiridonov said at a press conference in Simferopol.
