“Speaking at TV show “MizMizlar” in ATR TV channel the delegate of Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar people of the 5th convocation, member of the Parliamentary faction “Qurultay-Rukh” in the VR ARC Enver Abduraimov stated that Crimean Tatars were 50 percent at fault forthe deportation of 1944,”- Ahtem Chiygoz said. “Our nationals from various Crimean regions and abroad were deeply indignant at such odious statement of the delegate of Qurultay and member of the VR ARC Enver Abduraimov. In their appeals to the delegates they demanded Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar people to adopt the corresponding decision”, – he said.
Many delegates of Qurultay of the 5th convocation, veterans of Crimean Tatar national movement, as well as the Crimean Tatar diaspora in Turkey, attending the session of Qurultay condemned the statements of the delegate of Qurultay Enver Abduraimov. At this, some delegates made statements, demanding the exclusion of Enver Abduraimov from the delegates of the national forum, stating that they personally do not ready accepting Enver Abduraimov’s apologies, he made from the tribune of Qurultay.
At the same time a range of delegates of Qurultay suggested limiting just to the consideration of this issue, taking into consideration the public apologies, made by Enver Abduraimov in Mass Media and from the tribune of the national convention.
The Leader of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Jemilev suggested limiting to the consideration in this case, that has to serve a lesson of itself not only to the delegate Enver Abduraimov, but other Crimean Tatar politicians, letting themselves a superficial attitude to the responsibilities, accepted.
“The practice of such hasty statements has to become a big lesson for every delegate of Qurultay,”- the delegates of the national convention of Crimean Tatars stated.
Reference: On January 2, 2013 the delegate of Qurultay of the 5th convocation, member of the Parliamentary faction “Qurultay-Rukh” in the VR ARC Ever Abduraimov, reflecting in TV show “MizMizlar” on ART TV channel http://atr.ua/pages/programs.aspx?video=2012-12-27-09-44-04-2151957on the necessity of the political cooperation between the bodies of Crimean Tatar national self-governance and ruling party, and trying to explain the reasons why the authorities ignore the problems of the Crimean Tatar people, connected such attitude of the authoritative bodies to the actions of Crimean Tatars themselves. Furthermore, looking for the arguments and analogies in the history Ever Abduraimov stated that “Crimean Tatars were 50 percent at fault forthe deportation of 1944”.
The Communists that deported us in 1944, they didn’t deport us on their own will. It means that there were some processes of the national movement or our national policy that led us to the deportation. In any case, I think that the problems of the people are not the problem of the external factors, but people themselves were 50 percent at fault for this. My liberal approach to life: in case I face with any problem I take 50% fault for it at once, because I have attitude to this process,” – Enver Abduraimov’s quotation from his speech in ATR TV channel on January 2, 2013.
