On 14 January, the Ministry of information policy of Ukraine organized a
working meeting with representatives of the Crimean society, who live in exile,
regarding the holding of the International Forum "Crimea is Ukraine
".
According to Advisor to the Minister on Crimean information policy Emine Dzheppar the
Forum will be held on 26th February and will be conducted in the framework of a
large-scale information campaign "Crimea is Ukraine".
The Forum, as well as the campaign, will be devoted to the second
remembrance of the occupation of Crimea and, primarily, the struggle of its
inhabitants with Russian aggression.
"We held three coordination meetings with Crimean journalists, human
rights defenders and activists. As a result, among other things, we have
reached an agreement about the joint organization of the International Forum.
Working group has been already formed, which is currently working on the
preparation of the event", - said Dzheppar.
During the meeting Natalia Belitser stressed the necessity of
holding multiple panels in the framework of the Forum.
"The main focus of our work should be made on the problems of human
rights violations in Crimea, the information policy concerning the Crimea and
reintegration of the peninsula", – said the expert.
Executive director of NGO "Human rights group 20 February" Dmytro Nezvitskyi noted
that the holding of the International Forum on the issues of the occupied
Crimea is another step towards creating a nationwide part of the strategy of
de-occupation of the peninsula.
"The more institutions of civil society and international experts will
participate in the Forum, the more chances to gain a strategic vision of Crimea
at the state level", said Nezvitskyi.
The Forum is planned to be held in the Ukrainian crisis media center.
Crimean experts, human rights activists, representatives of the Mejlis of
the Crimean Tatar people, the State Service of Ukraine on the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, the Department on ensuring the work of the
Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for the Affairs of Crimean Tatars were
invited for a discussion of this event.
