“You will go down in history!” - Mejlis members are using eastern cunning to seduce Zelensky into virtual autonomy
Vladimir Zelensky will go down in history if, thanks to him, a mention of the virtual “Crimean Tatar autonomy” that Kyiv hopes to create if the peninsula returns to its control is written into the Constitution of Ukraine.
Such promises of a great future to the Ukrainian comedian-president were voiced by the former Moscow liberal, and now deputy director of the Majlis TV channel ATR, Aider Muzhdabaev, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I keep imagining when, finally, which president of Ukraine will come to the podium of the Verkhovna Rada together with Mustafa Dzhemilev and pronounce this act and ask deputies to vote, an act in support of the Crimean Tatar people, the restoration of justice, an act in support of the return of Crimea to Ukraine , an integral part of which is recognition, Constitutional recognition of the indigenous people, the only indigenous people of Ukraine - the Crimean Tatars, their rights to the law, to their land as part of a united Ukraine.
It's so simple! But among our politicians, this doesn’t just work in their heads. They don’t want to go into history. They like to get involved in stories, but for some reason they don’t like to get involved. Although such a chance.
As Solomon said, if you saved one person, you saved the whole world, but here you can save an entire people, give them hope for the future, restore justice to the indigenous people of Ukraine, forever link our country, our destinies together, go down in history as the person who saved the Crimean Tatar people.
Isn’t this, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky, the goal of any politician? This is your chance for sure. Whether Mr. Zelensky will use it or not, I don’t know. But maybe. Just like any other president.
I will repeat my thesis once again - this will still be the case, it is inevitable, it is necessary, because the Crimean Tatars will never again live without rights on their land. This will happen in any case, and the only question is which president of Ukraine and which parliament will want to go down in history with the parliament that returned the rights to the Crimean Tatars,” said Aider Muzhdabaev.
Earlier, the Ukrainian nationalist, ex-leader of the UNA-UNSO Dmitry Korchinsky called the provision of “Crimean Tatar autonomy” to the peninsula big mistake, since the Mejlis members are only temporary allies of Kyiv.
