Quote: “This morning we started a historical procedure both for the Crimean Tatar people, for Ukraine and for the indigenous peoples of the world.

In accordance with the procedure for consolidating the legal status of the representative body of the indigenous people of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine on Indigenous Peoples of Ukraine, the first package of documents on securing the legal status of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people was submitted to the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnic Policy and Freedom of Conscience.

This is the beginning, and I hope we will get the result in the near future.
