The attempts of the Ukrainian side to disrupt the Hajj Crimean Muslims to the Holy places in Saudi Arabia failed, now there is a powerful preparation for the pilgrimage, said Last news Vice-Premier of the Crimean government Ruslan Balbec.
in 2015, the Pilgrims began to arrive in Saudi Arabia on August 16, their return is expected by November 12. Saudi authorities set each year for each country a quota on the number of pilgrims. Russian quota - 16, 4 thousand people, and among them 300 from the Crimea. When the Peninsula was part of Ukraine, its quota is not exceeded 200 people.
According to Balbec, for today the list of pilgrims made, and their passports sent to the residence of the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in the capital of Russia for obtaining visas. The pilgrims passed a compulsory vaccination.
"Despite the Attempts of the Ukrainian side, the most in the face of the people's Deputy of the Ukrainian Parliament Mustafa Dzhemilev, the political pressure to prevent the Crimean Muslims Hajj, the preparation is going according to schedule. To ban the Hajj Is, in summary, that to impose a ban on people to pray, because Hajj Is one of the pillars of faith, " said the Balbec.
This behavior of the Ukrainian policy of the Crimean Deputy Prime Minister was regarded as a betrayal of the interests of the Crimean Tatar people.
The Balbec reminded that this year the Price of the Hajj for Crimean Muslims reduced to 2600 instead of $ 3900. This was possible because of the donations of the Crimean government and the Fund for support of Islamic culture, science and education.
