The remaining of my kin were exiled upon the conclusion of WWII by Stalin. Now, Russia invades with the support of the pro-Russian separatists and my kin sides with the Ukrainians. We yet again face great dangers.
What is the proper course to take now? My country will as always, probably look while we face a second exile, as we did in the aftermath of WWII.
So you are Tatar my friend?
Tats? Nogay? Yaliboyu?
Tatar(though I prefer the term "Crimean Turk" or Kırım Türkü"). My father's family were from Bakhchesaray. Though we're not from the coastal areas.
