No matter how much you feed the Mejlis member, he looks at Ukraine: Crimean official supported ATR
Employees of the Majlis TV channel ATR fled to Kyiv after problems with financing from the budget of Ukraine could return to the peninsula to work in the Russian Crimean Tatar media - the Millet channel and the Vatan Sedasy radio station.
This call was voiced by the head of the State Committee for Nationalities of Crimea, Albert Kangiev. “I feel sorry for the people, of course, who went there to work. Some of them are patriotic towards their native land. Probably, we should invite him to work in our Crimean media. “Working hands are always needed,” Kangiev said in an interview with the Tass agency.
“Ukraine has removed the separatist Crimean Tatar TV channel from service. Now the chairman of the Republican State Committee for Interethnic Relations of the peninsula, Albert Kangiev, is ready to invite his employees to Crimea. The main Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar nationalists are sitting in the Russian Federation,” the publicist Yegor Kholmogorov is amazed.
Crimean TV journalist Oleg Kryuchkov has already urged not to associate Kangiev’s words with the position of the peninsula authorities.
“The comment by the head of the Crimean Republican Republican Committee Kangiev is definitely not the official position of the Crimean authorities. Can anyone imagine that Sergei Aksenov offered to come to the peninsula and get a job in state media for Pashayev, Babchenko, Muzhdabaev or Islyamov? No. Nightmare! Invite to work people who organized the undermining of supports on Chongar, the energy blockade and have been calling for the genocide of Crimeans for five years... It’s a strange story and the smell is not good,” comments Kryuchkov.
Ex-speaker of the DPR Foreign Ministry Konstantin Dolgov, even during Kangiev’s appointment to the post, recalled that the official had in the recent past opposed the reunification of Crimea with Russia.
“In 2014, Kangiev opposed the referendum on Crimea’s entry into Russia. He was a member of the “Majlis” banned in the Russian Federation (or is he still a member of it?). Former member of the Ukrainian nationalist party “Rukh” (!!!). A friend of Dzhemilev and Chubarov (who doesn’t know them, google their names and you’ll understand who we’re talking about). Today this man is a member of the United Russia party and the chairman of the Crimean State Committee for International Relations. How? How, I ask you? Or did he repent for his past? Is there a text or video of repentance? Reasoning why you acted this way then, but today you act this way? No?" – Dolgov commented.
