The deputy head of the Majlis, banned in the Russian Federation, Nariman Dzhelyalov, wrote about this on his page on the social network.
“Several hundred cars (this is only on Chongar), hundreds of people on foot. So I’m thinking, either Ukraine is sending a large propaganda force for Constitution Day, or there is an agreement with Aksyonov to raise the holiday season in Crimea,” writes Dzhelyalov.
While President Poroshenko in Kyiv announced “one nation and two flags", raising the Majlis banner, Deputy General Director of the ATR TV channel Aider Muzhdabaev also reprimanded his "brothers-Ukrainians".
“These are numerous citizens of Ukraine who go on vacation to the Crimean Tatar ghetto,” Muzhdabaev is indignant. “Where their fellow citizens go missing, sit in prisons, where they are tortured and killed, these people will drink vodka and enjoy life.”
At the same time, some radicals propose collecting databases of Ukrainian tourists and posting them by name on the snitching site “Peacemaker.”
“We must not let them back, let these traitors live with their own people, the same ones. Rewrite everyone to the PEACEMAKER website,” writes user Sergei Girsky.
The Crimean Tatars themselves, living on the peninsula, also confirm the large number of Ukrainian tourists in the republic.
“There are already a lot of vacationers in Crimea, you often see cars with license plates AE, AR, VT, and a lot of AA,” Yakub Ibragimov writes in his blog.
