❕The genocide of the Crimean Tatar people must be recognised by the world: Verkhovna Rada appeals to the international community
On the eve of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Genocide of the Crimean Tatar People,
@ua_parliament called on governments, parliaments, and international organisations to recognise the 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatars as an act of genocide, condemn russia’s discriminatory practices in
#Crimea, and strengthen protection of the rights of Crimean Tatars and
#Ukrainians living in the temporarily occupied territories.
According to Oleksandr Merezhko (
@ChairOlek), it is important to continue the policy of non-recognition of the illegal attempted annexation of
#Crimea, maintain pressure on the aggressor state, and support Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian culture.
«We must not remain silent about what is happening now», he stressed.
