Head of Crimean parliament: Crimean Tatar cause is profitable business
On March 12, Head of Crimean Supreme Council Anatoly Gritsenko commented to Crimean journalists on demands of Crimean Tatars, protesting in front of the parliament building.
“Somebody uses Crimean Tartars to make good money,” Anatoly Gritsenko has commented. “Organizers of the tent camp before the Crimean parliament have made the struggle for the rights of Crimean Tatars a profitable business.”
According to Gritsenko, Crimean Tatars have received during the last 1.5 years about 40,000 hectares of Crimean land for individual residential development.
Anatoly Gritsenko has especially stressed that he believes there is presently no need in holding such protest action.
Over 1,000 protesters have arrived to the autonomy's capital from Alushta, Yevpatoria and Krasnogvardeisk, set up a tent camp, demanding that land and property they were deprived of in 1954 be returned to them.
Most unsanctioned seizures of property on the peninsular are known to be organized by one of the leaders of Crimean Tatars Daniil Ametov.
