“We captured it”: Mejlis members declared Moscow their “sacred place”
Crimea is supposedly not one of the spiritual bonds of Russia, since Prince Vladimir, who was baptized on the peninsula, was not a Russian.
The former leader of the extremist group Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars, banned in Russia, Verkhovna Rada deputy Mustafa Dzhemilev, stated this on air on the Chernomorskaya TRK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The extremist also stated that Russia cannot consider Crimea its sacred place, because Prince Vladimir, who was baptized in Chersonesos, was not from Moscow, but from Kyiv.
“They have false ideas about braces. There cannot be bonds on foreign territories. I remember back in 2014, Putin said that Crimea is a sacred place, because Prince Vladimir was baptized there. Firstly, Prince Vladimir is not Russian, but from Kiev, and secondly, for that matter, we also captured Moscow in 1571, and it is also a sacred, so to speak, place for us,” Dzhemilev said.
