"Tent Crimea": a rally for the right to land

May 27, 2005, Simferopol.

The plot is dedicated to the protest action of Crimean Tatar repatriates demanding the allocation of suitable land for housing construction.

Comments: Prosecutor General of Ukraine Svyatoslav Piskun; Crimean resident, protester Eldar Katakli; Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea Anatoly Matvienko.

Journalist —Tamara Khrushch.

Reference: In July 2005, Crimean Tatar repatriates organized a tent camp near the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in Simferopol, demanding the allocation of land for individual housing construction. The action was caused by dissatisfaction with government decisions, since some of the proposed plots turned out to be unsuitable for development due to sanitary restrictions, and some of the land, according to the protest participants, was illegally distributed among themselves by the deputies.
