The Tatars represent about two million in the Autonomous Republic of Tatarstan, a little more than half of the population.

The Crimean Tatars in their native region today in the minority. They represent only 13 percent of the population but have 25 percent of the students. More than 100,000 Crimean Tatars were able to return yet, partly because the land allocation is uncertain to this day and the social situation in the Crimea catastrophic. The voluntary return of mostly live in Uzbekistan. Several draft laws including the Ukrainian government on reparations, restitution, and equality were the language of the Crimean Tatars not yet ratified, disappeared in a drawer of the bureaucracy. http://www.gfbv.de/pressemit.php?id=1928 - A PUBLICATION OF THE SOCIETY FOR THREATENED PEOPLES - PO Box 2024 - D-37073 Göttingen - Fax: +49/551/58028 - Tel: +49/551/49906 -0 - E-mail: info@gfbv.de |
