The Crimean Tartars who are coming back from places of deportation face with serious problems on the peninsula when they apply to the Federal Migration Service. They are requested to leave the peninsula. “Crimea.Realias” informs about that with reference to the Crimean Field Mission on Human Rights.
As the organization explains, such people can not acquire the migratory status. Representatives of Crimean Tartars say that there are more than 4 thousand people who have faced this problem in Crimea. After 90 days of stay in Crimea, the decision, which orders to leave the territory of Crimea that Russia considers as its own, is made regarding these people. “It’s being done despite the Edict of the President of the Russian Federation from 21st of April, 2014 No.268 “On measures aimed at rehabilitation of the Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Crimean Tartar and German people and state support of their restoration and development” and the announces of Crimean authorities about readiness to accept people, who are coming from places of deportation,” notes the Crimean field mission. “The problem becomes more complicated because in most of the cases people who sold all their property in Asia don’t have the place to come back to. They go to court with a claim to be admitted to citizenship of the Russian Federation but according to the Crimean Field Mission, no one won the case in a court of the first instance. Right now there are courts of second instance. At least one family managed to win the case there”, says the deputy chairman of the Crimean Field Mission Dmitriy Makarov.
Crimeans who have been living in Crimea for many years but can’t prove it face the same problem. “Such people need to prove that they lived in Crimea in a court case. One of the crucial problems is that the reason to go to court should be the passport denial by the Federal Migration Service. This document is impossible to receive because of enormous queues. Just recently courts started to take into consideration the fact of mailing by post requests of admitting to citizenship,” says the coordinator of the field activity of the CFM Alexandra Krylenkova.
