«What Our Fathers, Mothers, Brothers and Sisters Were Guilty of – Is Question We Still Haven’t Received the Answer to»,- Arcady Goryaev

19 May 2012

“What our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters were guilty of – is the question we still haven’t received the answer to. In 1946 during the Nuremberg trial over the main Nazi criminals the whole world knew about the tragedy of a small village Katyn where SS soldiers burned 147 people, including 75 children. Millions of people have visited the place of the tragedy and gave their due to the innocent victims. How many people have visited Ayba settlement in Chechnya where NKVD USSR burned more than 700 innocent old people and women? How many people have visited four burned Balkan villages? Who has counted the number of Crimean Tatars, killed and died of cold, hunger, diseases and backbreaking hard labor in the places of special settlements?”- the Chairman of the “Union of the Repressed Peoples of Russia” Arcady Goryaev said in his speech at the all-Crimean mourning meeting, timed to the 68^th anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people from their historical Homeland – Crimea.

Arcady Goryaev noted that it is impossible to count the number of such victims of crimes, but thanked the God that the world is changing and rethinking the crimes, committed against humanity.

The Chairman of the “Union of the Repressed Peoples of Russia” just gave few examples of the positive processes. Thus, in 2008 the Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd repented for the whole world before the aboriginals of the Green continent for the centuries of the genocide that was committed against them. Then the Prime Minister of Canada repented before the North Canadian Indians and the Government of Canada even went further, paying them reimbursement of 1,2 billions of Canadian Dollars”.

Reference: May 18, 2012 more than 30 thousand people took part in the all-Crimean mourning meeting, timed to the 68^th anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people from their historical Homeland – Crimea. The delegation of the Union of the Repressed Peoples of Russia took part in the meeting as well.
