Putin now becomes another great excuse to seek asylum in a neighboring European Union country—Poland. The invasion of Europe continues….
As I read this story, hat tip ‘pungentpeppers,’ and did some additional reading, I’m wondering why in h*** the mainstream TV media in the US hasn’t said anything I know of about the Tatars, the Muslim minority, numbering in the hundreds of thousands in Ukraine.
Watch for it! The next large wave of ‘asylum seekers’ wanting to be let into Europe proper will be this Muslim ethnic group!
From the Daily News (Turkey):
A group of 32 Crimean Tatars has requested refugee status in Poland following Russia’s annexation of the Black Sea peninsula, Polish border guards said Friday.
The eight families, or 32 Tatars in total, requested refugee status late Thursday at the border crossing with Ukraine in the southern Polish village of Medyka, Polish border-guard spokeswoman Agnieszka Golias told AFP.
“They justified their act by the situation in Crimea. We received their requests and launched the appropriate administrative procedures. In the meantime, they may be sent to a refugee centre, without being required to go,” she said.
The Muslim ethnic group, which makes up between 12 to 15 percent of the Crimean population, has protested against Russia’s intervention on the peninsula and mostly stayed away from a disputed referendum in which the Russian-speaking majority overwhelmingly voted in favour of breaking away from Ukraine.
Then have a look at two other articles, here (history of the Tatars and Russia) and here (Tatars don’t believe Putin’s promises).
The Tatars are a Turkish people, so why not seek asylum in Turkey—doesn’t that make more sense!
I fully expect to see US resettlement contractors in coming months clamor for Tatars to be resettled in the US to add to their collection of ethnic diversity! Although, truth be told, we are probably already resettling Muslims from Ukraine and aren’t being informed about it.
