genocide of the Crimean Tatar people.

people will be May 18.
In addition, the resolution says that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
states that the system pressure on the Crimean Tatar people, the repression of
Ukrainian citizens on a national basis, the organization of ethnically and
politically motivated prosecutions of the Crimean Tatars, such bodies as the
Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people and the Kurultai of the Crimean Tatar people
on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine by the public authorities of
the Russian Federation, starting from the date of temporary occupation, are a
conscious policy of ethnocide of the Crimean Tatar people.
