MOSCOW, March 18 (RIA Novosti) – Ukraine’s breakaway region of Crimea will ask Tatars to vacate part of the land where they now live in exchange for new territory elsewhere in the region, a top Crimean government official said Tuesday.
Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliyev said in an interview with RIA Novosti on Tuesday the new government in Crimea, where residents voted Sunday to become part of Russia, wants to regularize the land unofficially taken over by Crimean Tatar squatters following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
“We have asked the Crimean Tatars to vacate part of their land, which is required for social needs,” Temirgaliyev said. “But we are ready to allocate and legalize many other plots of land to ensure a normal life for the Crimean Tatars,” he said.
Temirgaliyev emphasized that members of the Tatar community could receive senior political positions in the new government, in an apparent move to ease ethnic tensions in the region.

2.) I'm of native descent.
We don't need your help.
They entire planet is comprised of dislocated peoples. One group moves in and one group moves out. Life goes on.

Don't see why Americans feel the need to comment on this topic, your country is made entirely of land confiscated from Native peoples.

You are deluded if you think I care about what you want. I'll comment on any topic, in any fashion I see fit.

Then maybe you should take that up with the European Union seeing as how they are the ones who colonized the Americas, displacing native populations.
Do you support Crimea / Russias actions against the tartars?edit on 19-3-2014 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)

At a glance at the article it don't look too bad .There is some hope for them in it .30% of them voted for the reunification . At present they do not own land because past Ukrainian governments failed to fix the issue . There is a need for the state to use the land presently an much like in the way the west can appropriate land even from owners when its needed for the state I don't see any wrong . As a added bonus they are assured to have a place within the Govt . The artical is short on many details so it's really hard to give any opinion with exactness ....peace
