Russian Support of Crimea Reunification Vote of Confidence for Putin: Study
MOSCOW, December 4 (Sputnik) – Russia has put all the necessary conditions in place to solve the current issues affecting Crimean Tatars, Crimean NGO Milli Firka said Thursday.

"At present, the Russian Federation has created legal and legislative basis to fully resolve all the problems Crimean Tatars are facing," the chairman of the NGO Vasvi Abdurainov told journalists at the OSCE Ministerial Council held in Basel.

The chairman added that Crimea's ethnic minority had long been neglected by the Ukrainian authorities.

"For 23 years, our community has been urging Ukraine to at least establish a legal framework to solve pressing problems. Throughout the whole period of 23 years neither legal nor legislative initiatives have been proposed to open room for some solution," Abdurainov added.

The chairman added that Ukraine only contributed to inflaming tensions in Crimea "managing the region against this unfavorable background".

Abdurainov also said there was much work ahead to finalize integration with Russia.

"The fact of a new status of our republic is one thing, but there is a great amount of practical work to ensure full and closest integration with Russia," the Milli Firka head noted.

In April, following Crimea's reunification deal with Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the rehabilitation of Crimean Tatars and ethnic minorities in Crimea who suffered during the repression of the Stalin era. The decree envisages state support for the minorities' revival and development.

Currently, about 260,000 Crimean Tatars live in Crimea.
