I was about 81 years since the deportation of the Crimean Turks, when the whole nation has expelled from Joseph Stalin on the orders of Joseph Stalin, but the pain from those tragic events still does not subside.
The policy of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars began during the reign of the Russian Empress Catherine II, having begun to gain momentum during the Soviet Union.
In 1774, the Ottoman state concluded with Russia Kuchuk-Cainargian world, and thereby lost control of the Crimean Khanate.
In 1783, the Crimean Khanate completely passed under the control of the Russian Empire. Tens of thousands of Crimean Tatars began to massively leave the Crimea and move to Anatoly. Many Crimean Tatars found refuge in the Ottoman state.
During the Second World War, the USSR temporarily lost control of the Crimean peninsula, and after the victory over fascism, the persecution of Crimean Tatars began.
Crimean Tatars were accused of supporting the Nazis and under this far -fetched pretext a decision was made to deport. By decree of the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, Crimean Tatars were deported to various regions of Central Asia.
The deportation process began at 03:00 on May 18, 1944. For 15 minutes, about 259 thousand Crimean Tatars were driven to the square, mainly the elderly, women and children who were put in wagons for the transportation of animals.
half of the Crimean Tatars deported in inhuman conditions did not reach the destination, having died on the way.
After the death of Stalin in 1954, a decree was issued on the transfer of the Crimean Peninsula to the Ukrainian SSR.
After the annexation of Crimea by Russia, on April 21, 2014, the Russian Federation was on a ban on entering Crimea to the large number of Crimean Tatar leaders.
In particular, the ban on entry into Crimea is valid against the leader of the Crimean Tatar people of Mustafa Kyrymoglu (Dzhemilev) and other leaders of the Crimean Tatars.
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized the ban on the activities of the Majlis of the Crimean Tatars in Russia legal. After the peninsula join the Russian Federation, many Crimean Tatars were forced to leave their homeland.
Crimean Tatars living in Ukraine and leading the struggle for their rights in the diplomatic plane, are struck by difficulties against the background of the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Part of the Crimean Tatars was forced to leave their native lands and move to Turkey and other countries.
