Leader of Crimean Tatar Mejlis Submits Bill on Ethnic and National Policy

On March 7, Mustafa Dzhemiliov, a Ukrainian deputy and the leader of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars, submitted to the parliament a bill on the Concept of Ethnic and National Policy of Ukraine, reported UNIAN with reference to the press service of the Mejlis.

"The approval of the concept of the ethnic and national policy of Ukraine is an important document which is to lay the foundation for the formation of a new state policy in this area,” reads the report.  

The document was submitted for registration by the Supreme Council after two weeks of public discussion thereof.

“The draft law was earlier proposed to the Supreme Council of Ukraine but found no support and was withdrawn from consideration. The Cabinet of Ministers also approved a similar draft concept and is going to submit it for consideration by the Parliament,” reported the press service of the Mejlis.
