أوكرانيا: مساعي انفصال التتار تثير مخاوف بوتين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أعلن الرئيس الروسي "فلاديمير بوتين" أنه بصدد مراجعة قوانين إعادة التأهيل، التي تخدم المتضررين من التهجير الجماعي الذي فعله طاغية "روسيا" "ستالين".

وأكد أنه بعد مراجعة تلك القوانين سيتم تطبيقها على المسلمين التتار في "شبه جزيرة القرم"؛ مما قد يسفر عن تقنين المجتمعات المسلمة التتارية هناك، ودعم البنى التحتية والأوضاع المعيشية، أسوةً بما فعله بمواطني شمال القوقاز و"أنجوشيا".

وتأتي هذه الخطوة كرد فعل للاجتماع الذي عقده رموز التتار المسلمين، وإعلانهم عن إمكانية عمل استفتاء على استقلال مسلمي "القرم" ذاتيًّا بدعم محلي ودولي؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Russia Mulls Crimea Muslims Rehabilitation

In a bid to calm rising tensions, President Vladimir Putin has announced intention to review the country’s rehabilitation law and apply it to the Crimean Muslim Tatars following the announcement of plans for autonomy referendum.

“I will certainly give orders to look into the matter,” Putin was quoted by ITAR-TASS news agency on Tuesday, April 1.

Putin’s decision followed a meeting with Tatarstan’s President Rustam Minnikhanov on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of applying the law on the exoneration of the repressed peoples to the Crimean Tatars.

The new law, if applied, would include legalizing Crimean Muslim Tatars communities and launching an infrastructure development program.

“I have visited Crimea on three separate occasions. They [Crimean Tatars] fell victim to political reprisals 70 years ago,” Minnikhanov told Putin.

“You said in clear terms in your message that the Rehabilitation Law passed by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SSR on April 26, 1991, should be applied to the Crimean Tatars.

“This would provide moral incentives for the Crimean Tatars to comply with Russian law,” he added.

Russia’s rehabilitation law applies to those who suffered from Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s mass deportations in the 1930s and 1940s.

The law has previously been applied to ethnic groups in the North Caucasus, including the Chechens and Ingushetians.

A few days ago, Crimea’s indigenous Muslim Tatars have taken the first steps towards seeking autonomy for the Black Sea peninsula, following Crimea's much criticized annexation by Russia.

The minority group's assembly, known as the Mejlis, has created a special group to look into the possibility of holding a “referendum within one ethnic group”, said its leader Refat Chubarov in a statement released obtained by Agence France Presse (AFP) on Wednesday, April 2.

“We are now trying to find international precedents and international organisations which can help us in that,” Chubarov said in the statement.

The 300,000-strong Muslim minority makes up less than 15 percent of Crimea's population of 2 million and has so far been overwhelmingly opposed to Russia's annexation of the peninsula.
