Kyiv • UNN
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people condemned any attempts to recognize Crimea as Russian, emphasizing that this is a gross violation of international law and an encroachment on the sovereignty of Ukraine. The only way to peace is de-occupation.
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people rejected the possibility of recognizing the annexed Crimea as Russian and warned that attempts to do so contradict international law. This is reported by UNN with reference to the statement of the Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov on Facebook.
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people - the highest representative body of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people of Ukraine - categorically rejects any proposals or actions aimed at recognizing the temporarily occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as Russian, which are an integral part of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.

He warned that any attempts to recognize the temporarily occupied territory of the Crimean peninsula as Russian would mean a gross violation of the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and numerous resolutions of the UN General Assembly.
In addition, attempts to legalize the seizure of the territory of Ukraine will mean an encroachment on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, disregard and disregard for the inalienable rights of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, justification of the crimes of the occupiers, denial of the act of genocide of the Crimean Tatar people, as well as encouragement of the policy of ethnocide of the Crimean Tatar people by Russia.
The idea of "appeasing" Moscow at the expense of the land of the Crimean Tatar people will create a precedent of impunity for the aggressor, when his violation of the internationally recognized borders of a sovereign state and the subsequent legitimization by other countries of the territories occupied by the aggressor will undermine the global system of collective security, Chubarov emphasized.
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people declares that the only legitimate way to end the Russian-Ukrainian war, establish a guaranteed and just peace in the region is the de-occupation of Crimea and other occupied territories of Ukraine and the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. Any other options threaten consequences in which the suffering of people, including the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, due to violations of their fundamental rights may become catastrophic
