On July 12, the Polish parliament approved the Resolution "On commemorating the victims of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people" by 414 votes, recognizing the deportation of Crimean Tatars in 1944 as genocide, according to People's Deputy of Ukraine Mykola Kniazhytskyi, APA reports citing Espresso.
"It is extremely important for us that the whole world recognizes the deportation of Crimean Tatars as genocide. Because we are a democratic country. Crimean Tatars are part of the Ukrainian people who suffered from the Russian Empire and continue to suffer now. Crimea is now occupied, and it is extremely important for us to liberate Crimea. We can liberate it only if we fight together with the whole world for the rights of the Crimean Tatar population," he told Espresso.
The Polish Sejm recognized that "the deportation of Crimean Tatars in 1944 and its consequences were an act of genocide against the Crimean Tatar people."
"The Polish Parliament recognized the deportation of Crimean Tatars in 1944 as genocide. This is an extremely important decision! The Baltic countries have already joined the recognition of this terrible crime. A month ago, the PACE called for recognizing the 1944 deportation as an act of genocide against the Crimean Tatar people. And today, the Polish Sejm adopted an important resolution on this issue," noted Knyazhytsky.
