Crimean Tatars: Crimean Tatars launch protest in Simferopol
The protesters said they would not leave until their demands were satisfied.
The Regional Majilis authorized a similar action in Alushta starting from July 5. Crimean Tatars want land lots for building houses and a mosque.
Crimean Tatars are in opposition to the authorities and the
police in Alushta, because they are not allowed to open small shops and grill
houses on the seashore without permission. Traders, who do not have authorization
for their business, have even clashed with the police, head of the public relations
center of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry’s Crimean Department Alexander
Dombrovsky said.
