According to Refat Chubarov, the session of the Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People that will be held on April 15, 2014 will consider the issues relating to the further steps of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People concerning the current situation.

“I do not exclude that the session will make the final point in referendum issue and questions to vote, in case we will find a sufficient support internationally,”- the Chairman of the Mejlis said.

The Chairman of the Mejlis also drew attention that the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People formed a special group to study every aspect of holding the referendum within one community.

“We are trying to find the international precedents now and base on the international organizations that can help us. First of all these are the organizations dealing with the conflict prevention, such as OSCE or UNHCHR,”- Refat Chubarov informed.

The Chairman of the Mejlis Refat Chubarov also noted that he will try to do his best that the Leader of the Crimean Tatar People Mustafa Jemilev will take part in the Qurultay.

Refat Chubarov also denied the rumors about the split among the members of the Mejlis.

“The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People always discuss its decisions and adopt them without any dictation, but this doesn’t testifies that there is any split in the Mejlis.”

The Chairman of the Mejlis said that one of the members of the Mejlis personally made decision before the session of the Qurultay to stop one’s membership in the Mejlis.

He made this decision despite the fact that such step was not provided by the documents regulating the activity of the Mejlis and Qurultay. The Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People will define its attitude to such kind of actions”- the Chairman of the Mejlis underscored.
