Crimean Tatars are outraged by the use of Jamala's song about deportation at the gay pride parade in Kyiv
The song “1944” about the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, with which singer Jamala won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016, was used at the gay pride parade in Kyiv.
This fact outraged the head of the public organization “Regional National-Cultural Autonomy of the Crimean Tatars” Eyvaz Umerov.
“From this day on, whenever I hear this song, these decorated geyropers will flash in my head. Why do some pro-Ukrainian representatives of the creative intelligentsia allow themselves to call Crimean Tatar radio and television and prohibit their work from being played, while others give permission for their songs to be played at gay parades?” Umerov wrote on his Facebook page.
He believes that the incident with Jamala's song is not an accident, but a pattern.
“First pi*%”: people from the Asia-Pacific region, such as Aider Muzhdabaev, participate in the gay parade with the LGBT flag, the next year the Medjlismen who fled from Crimea indulged in Crimean Tatar flags appearing at the same parade. And yet another year, at this parade, a song about the deportation of the Crimean Tatars is heard, to which these demons make faces and sing along!!! I won’t be surprised that tomorrow all the escaped Medjlismen and members of Hizb-ut-Tahrir will personally participate in the gay parade next year to this song, this will be a revelation of the true essence of these hypocrites,” Umerov wrote.
He believes that if there are “men and Muslims, Crimean Tatars” in Ukraine, then it is necessary to hold an educational conversation with the organizers and participants of the action about the inadmissibility of exploiting the grief of the Crimean Tatars in such unnatural actions.”
