Crimean Tatars Call On Kyiv To Restore Their Rights 12 December 2005 -- Members of the Crimean Tatar Congress gathered in the main Crimean city Simferopol said yesterday that Ukraine's integration with the West should not go forward until Kyiv restores Tatar rights.
Congressional delegates, issuing a statement at the end of the three-day session, accused Ukrainian authorities of disregarding the rights of Crimean Tatars, who were deported en masse by Soviet leader Josef Stalin in 1944.
RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir Service reported that congress member Timur Dagci was among the voices calling for Kyiv to recognize the deportation as genocide:
"Our problem -- the problem of Stalin's genocide of the Crimean Tatar people -- is an undeniable fact, so I believe all countries, the United Nations, and the European Union will recognize it and will decide that it was indeed genocide," Dagci said.
Many Tatars have since returned to Crimea, but have been unable to reclaim valuable land and property that was theirs before the deportations.
The Tatar Congress delegates called on the Council of Europe and the European Union to make Ukraine's possible membership in the EU and World Trade Organization contingent on their recognition of Crimean Tatar rights.

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
yeah!!! You (x5452) didn't disappoint me. Your obsession continues...No matter what, when you run out of arguments we are sure "Soros" will come up, it is the most important issue right now. Keep it up!
In 1935 Poland declared that it would no longer be bound by the League of Nations treaty on ethnic minorities, arguing that its own laws were adequate. That same year, many Belorussians in Poland who opposed the government's policies were placed in a concentration camp at Byaroza-Kartuzski (Bereza Kartuska, in Polish). The Belorussians lost their last seat in the Polish Sejm in the general elections of 1935, and the legislation that guaranteed the right of minority communities to have their own schools was repealed in November 1938. The state then involved itself more deeply in religion by attempting to Polonize the Orthodox Church and subordinate it to the government.

Yushchenko, the President of Ukraine and co-opressor of Crimea is funded by and works closely with Soros.
Soros monies go the Ukraine NGOs that fund abortion clinics.
I've posted the evidence repeatedly.
Why will you not defend the Ukranian babies being killed by Soros money?
I don't want to discuss it. Seriously, it's not the issue. I just wonder if there will be any discussion about East European affairs without you posting some sh*t about Soros. It's boring and annoying at the same time. Post something constructive and stop your obsession of Soros, Ukraine and Poland.
"He was then led by military personnel into the forest where he was forced to dig his own grave, was shot twice in the head and was buried alive . . ."
Yep, I've noticed it some time ago. X5452 keeps posting the same things on and on...
Heh heh. Soros the baby killer. And what does he do with those killed babies? Makes matza with their blood presumably :))
Bereza Kartuska was not a concentration camp but a special establishment for political prisoners. Most of the prisoners were Polish. The government of Poland in 1930's was not very democratic, but you should see this in context of its time. Look what was happening in Russia and Germany and Italy at the same time. Poland was a state of law in comparison to those countries.
This treaty about minorities was a bilateral treaty imposed on Poland by Britain and France on behalf of Germany in the treaty of Versailles. This treaty was unjust because it bound only Poland and a few other easteuropean countries, but not Germany or France for example. So Poland was right to break it off. It wasn't right to oppress minorities, but again, see it in the context.
Are you seriously sick?
Soros funds abortion world wide, massacuring the unborn.
Ah of course the Belarussians weren't rounded up and put in a concentration camp they were put in a 'prison for politcal prisoners'.
Oh and the gulags? Those were actually just a soviet fitness program.
Poles yet again celebrating their actions aginst proud Ukranians.
It is the issue. Soros NGOs steal American tax dollars to fund abortion.
Those same tax dollars got Yushchenko, a Soros supporter from one of his NGOs elected.
That is why he's now able to opress Ukranian minorities.
Yes, they were political prisoners. They were not put into jail because they were Belorussians, but because they were Belorussian political activists who acted against Polish government. They were not treated worse than the Poles who did the same.
Maybe so. I take your word for that. There are many people out there who finance abortion. It is up to the people of every country to elect lawmakers who would make abortion illegal.
Another pathetic try to sow division between Poles and Ukrainians, Ivan. Thats fortunately all you can do. Try again.
Were they? Tell me more about it Vanyusha.
It's the other way around. Soros actually supports Putin and his regime. Soros hates USA and Putin hates USA so they are natural allies. Even if they were not allies now (and they are), they would be bound to be sooner or later :))
Athanasius Filipovich is a Ukranian Hero. Mocking his death is another exxample of how Poles really feel about Ukranians.
