Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on securing the legal status of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people as a representative body of this people, UNN reports with reference to the OP.
Details
According to the decree, the Cabinet of Ministers must immediately ensure the resolution of the relevant issue.
This will contribute to the realization of the right of the Crimean Tatar people to sustainable development and the provision of guarantees of their ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity.
I signed a decree that gives you more real opportunities to protect the entire state, all of Ukraine and our Crimea, all our people and the indigenous people, the Crimean Tatar people, our security and your security, our right to live freely on our land
The head of state emphasized that the Mejlis has always been and is a representative body of the Crimean Tatar people, and now this is enshrined legally and politically.
Let's add
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people was founded in 1991 and is the only supreme authorized representative and executive body of this people. However, all this time it did not have the appropriate legal status. After resolving this legal issue, the Mejlis, in particular, will be able to participate in the development of state programs and fully represent the interests of the Crimean Tatar people.
