This was reported by OHA news agency.
The representative of the supervisory agency intended to have a conversation with the General Director of the Fund, Riza Shevkiev. Previously, over the phone, she explained that she was going to “check the documentation of the building on the street. Shmidta, 2" (the Majlis building is the only one in Crimea over which the Ukrainian flag flies).
In the room where Ibragimova arrived, there were also a representative of the Kurultai Audit Commission Ali Ozenbash, the head of the Kurultai Central Election Commission Zair Smedlyaev and media representatives.
An employee of the prosecutor's office expressed a desire to talk with Shevkiev one-on-one. The head of the Foundation refused her this, justifying it by the fact that “the meeting is official, there is nothing personal, and the people who are in the room are famous.”
Ibragimova refused to communicate under such conditions. She said that she would invite Shevkiev to her prosecutor’s office by sending a summons, and then left.
The head of the Central Election Commission, Smedlyaev, expressed the wish that “the agenda should be in the Crimean Tatar language, because the Crimean Tatar language is the state language.” Riza Shevkiev also supported him, saying that “he does not understand another language.”
Gulnara Ibragimova, already leaving the room, said: “Don’t give me instructions.”
“The law and the Constitution should be instructions for you,” Smedlyaev replied.
“Today, upon prior warning,” Shevkiev commented on the situation to journalists, “they came from the prosecutor’s office of the Kyiv district, and Gulnara introduced herself to me over the phone. I was informed that they wish to check the documentation of the building on the street. Schmidt, 2. I agreed to the meeting today. I was wondering what the approach would be, on the basis of what documents they were going to conduct an inspection and what claims, because in the telephone conversation words were heard about the “Ukrainian flag.”
The general director of the Crimea Fund believes that the representative of the prosecutor’s office could have put forward some conditions to him that she could not voice in the presence of second parties.
“The desire to stay with me face to face with a representative of the prosecutor’s office suggests that they want to give me some arguments, convictions so that I agree to some of their proposals or conditions. That's how I understand it. If there was nothing like that, they could have an open conversation and show me what they came for. Now I’ll wait for the summons,” said Riza Shevkiev.
