On the 69th anniversary of the deportation of Crimean Tatars from their homeland, we remember all those who died during the years of exile. They were victims of hunger, disease, cruel separation from families and unjust governmental policies 
With only days remaining, and tension high, the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People is urging members and observers of all diplomatic missions in Ukraine to come to Simferopol on 18 May, the 69th anniversary of the Deportation 
The Mejlis is angered over the decision of the Crimean Parliament to to boycott the traditional celebration of Khydyrlez and organize their own festivities falling right on the days marking the 69th anniversary of the signing by Stalin of the decree ordering the Deportation of the Crimean Tatars 
Highly worrying moves afoot in the Crimea suggest that concern back in November 2011 over the President’s quite staggering promotion of Anatoly Mohylyov to the post of Prime Minister of the Crimea was extremely well-founded 
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People is outraged over the passiveness of the law enforcement bodies in investigating a number of acts of vandalism targeting sites of cultural and historical significance for the Crimean Tatar people 
If, back in March 2010 responsibility for some quite scandalous ministerial appointments could be shared with the Prime Minister, in November 2011 President Yanukovych stands alone. And the burden of responsibility for appointing Anatoly Mohylyov Prime Minister of the Crimea is serious 
The Head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, Mustafa Dzhemiliev has commented to TV 1 + 1 on the appointment by President Yanukovych of Anatoly Mohylyov Prime Minister of the Crimea 
The President of the World Congress of Crimean Tatars Refat Chubarov says that the Ukrainian authorities have distanced themselves from the issues which face the Crimean Tatars and other peoples who returned to their homeland 
One of the two newspapers in the Crimean Tatar language – “Kiyrym” will be published until September on credit and thanks to support from readers and sponsors. The first issue came out on 16 July after a break of almost two months due to the total cut in state funding 
An appeal has been sent to the President, Prime Minister and Head of the Crimean Council of Ministers regarding “the dramatic situation which has emerged with respect to one of the two newspapers in the Crimean Tatar language - Kiyrym”. 
7 years after beginning the procedure for getting building permission for the Mosque the Crimean Muslims have received the State Act of entitlement to indefinite use of a land site on the outskirts of Simferopol 
On Wednesday around 25 thousand Crimean Tatars gathered on the central square in Simferopol to honour the memory of the victims of the Deportation in 1944 
Mustafa Dzhemiliev, Head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People. National Deputy, former political prisoner and laureate of the “Light of Justice” Award speaks of achievements and expectations, ongoing problems and the attitude taken by the present regime
