Notice how even they obscure the question ..I am in favor of Russians actions for the tartars not for the actions against .In this case Russia is actually doing something for them ...strange colored glasses some weare ..
How long have they lived there?, that is a genuine question by the way.
If it is a few weeks even months then there might be a point but as far as I am aware this historically is their land. Now if I am wrong then I am sorry, this is not trolling I am happy to be educated and to understand your point of view.
How long have you lived in your place?
Russia is bending over backwards to make Crimea fair for all, something Svoboda, the alternative, is trying to erredicate.
Can trace my family back about 500 years from within 100 miles of where I live.
I am talking present day the people that are ALIVE today, not everybody lives in the past.
I am not trying to be obtuse, do you mean how long have I lived where I have or how long there has been Scots in Scotland?

A good example to be educated on is the Royal Proclamation of 1763 . The US does not like that document one bit .

We were talking about present day Crimean Tartars and then everybody talked about native americans and aboriginies then you brought up people dead 500 years ago.
I like to live in the present day aiming for the future, not live in the past.

Ok got you then my peoples have lived on the planet earth for 10s of thousands of years. But seriously the Scots have been a mixture of ethnic strains for a long time, we have never had to face the wholesale slaughter like the native Americans or the tartars have had too just for trying to live on the bones of their ancestors.
To take this back on track you think what you think and your view is one that no one will be able to debate with you, like I say I was happy to learn.

But I bet the US did like the freedoms and security gained by the death of British Soldiers in the French and Indian Wars. Proving, beyond doubt, that even with the US government, Americans are purely self interested and totally untrustworthy.

You shouldn't base your opinions of true Americans on old history or what happens in Washington DC. The "elected" officials are out of touch with what most Americans want and need. But the thread isn't about America so I'll digress.

Hey Canada doesn't like the document either .The US and Canada had no intention on being bound by it as far as I can tell .A interesting fact I read about a few years back was that former Prime-minsters of Canada get a very healthy pension from the US government .The mention of the Five Eyes in the Snowden document is quite telling as to where we are at now .

"My people", you think they're your peasants or summat?
There is very few "PURE people" on the planet any more.
Which btw is what Svoboda want, pure ukranians, lol, good luck with that.

My point was not that atrocities were not committed (by all sides), but that everyone had migrated here.

I totally agree with your point about the here and now... And being a Native American myself I see no correlation between what happened to my people and what's going on in Crimea right now.
Neither the Turks nor ethnic Russians were indigenous to the region, they all came from other places and settled there.
most of that influx of people moving into the region came about because of the Crimean War.
Still...There was always bad blood between the factions only made worse after WWII.
Stalin did a lot of bad things to a lot of diverse people.
If anything I believe the new PTB want the Tatars out because they would be more aligned with the Ukraine's government than they would be to Russian authority who's never been known look kindly on them

Most of the tatars after WWII were rounded up and sent to Siberia to be exterminated in Gulags,because they worked for the Nazis.Millions of Tatars were exterminated by Stalin. What do you think?

It looks like where they were living was illegal and they are simply correcting that and giving them new land LEGALLY. If they take this new land, nobody can take it from them as it is now theirs, legally. Currently they are occupying illegal land area, that is from the article so I am just actually reading it and quoting it.
