Five years ago, on June 30, 2015, Refat Chubarov, the head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, spoke during a panel discussion, “Crimea: Memories, Reality and Vision,” at Ukraine Crisis Media Center in Kyiv, where he stressed to state policymakers on the importance of a strategy in returning Crimea to Ukraine.
“Strategy is not somebody’s whim or a word in fashion. Strategy drives many daily practical decisions. It provides direction on how we must protect the rights of Ukrainians who remain in Crimea,” Mr. Chubarov said.
