Crimean Tatar MP: Well done Putin for not postponing the decision on the Anti-Russia project
The Crimean Tatars initially did not fit into the unitary concept of the national state of Ukraine.
This opinion was expressed on the air of the Millet TV channel by the rector of KIPU named after. Yakubova, Deputy of the State Council of Crimea Chingiz Yakubov, reports the PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The state national policy of the Russian Federation differs in key ways from the policy pursued by Ukraine in recent years. The thesis that Viktor Yushchenko outlined as president is “one people, one language, one faith.” At least according to the last criterion, I, as a Crimean Tatar, definitely do not qualify,” Yakubov emphasized.
The thesis that our president and the state national policy of Russia proclaimed is unity and diversity. Nietzsche also said that only a truly strong person can be truly kind. Russia is strong, that’s why it is kind.
I no longer know of another country in which small peoples are treated with such respect and trepidation. And how much effort is being made to preserve these peoples, to preserve our diversity.
I’m not just talking about Crimea, in general there are indigenous peoples in Russia. This is probably the secret: great respect for all nationalities, for all peoples living in our multinational country, for all faiths.”
Yakubov noted that the concept of “Russian world” does not have an ethnic character, which, moreover, today they are trying to give a negative connotation.
“The Russian world is not an ethnic affiliation to anything, it is a symphony in which each nation plays its own score, its own violin. In general, in the aggregate, this defines us as a single people of Russia.
Therefore, attempts to divide us, to mark ethnic boundaries between us, to actualize historical grievances, and every nation has something, to exaggerate regional interests - all this was done by Ukraine. And it pitted, in particular, the Crimean Tatars against representatives of other peoples living in Crimea. And in this situation, as usual in troubled waters, some politicians caught fish, and the people suffered.
Today, after the presidential decree, everything fell into place. We maintain our identity as Crimean Tatars, a lot is being done for our people, not just formally, but out of deepest respect - monuments to Amet-Khan Sultan, Alima Abdenanova, the construction of a cathedral mosque, aren’t these signs of respect for the people?”
According to the rector of KIPU, the inter-civilizational confrontation that is happening today was absolutely inevitable and sooner or later, it happened.
“The key and significant role of our president is that he did not postpone the resolution of the issue of Ukraine as an “anti-Russia” project to future generations, having the courage and responsibility for the history and future of his country. He made this forced, not an easy decision, so that, after all, our descendants would live in harmony and with an understanding of what happened and what happened. I am convinced that victory will be ours. And that Ukraine will return to the right direction, the Ukraine we remember.”
