“Our Constitution states that the army does not have the right to participate in any civil events on the territory of Ukraine. This constitutional law exists. This is a matter for the police and internal troops. Therefore, this is already a violation of the Constitution. But this would be so if there were no apologies. The brigade commander came, this shameful battalion commander came and apologized,” Islyamov noted.
In addition, he laments that after the victory of the Maidan in Kyiv they did not want to arm the Crimean Tatar militants.
“We are visionaries in some ways, of course. We thought that after the Maidan, Ukraine had changed, we hoped that these things were automatic... In fact, everything is banally simple - as the president said, “we were afraid,” I would, in fact, add “and we are afraid of the Crimean Tatars.” Because, what do you guys mean, that’s the word “let’s arm the Tatars.” What, we arm the Tatars, give them a battalion, then tomorrow, in fact, they will capture the RSA, Regional State Administration or something else,” Islyamov said.
