The annual children’s festival TATLI SES 2019 has been held, bringing together little Crimeans, residing in the occupied Crimea including children forced to leave their motherland.

Culture unites and promotes the improvement of connections with the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. It is gratifying to note that it is mainland Ukraine where the children’s festival helps to recover and preserve the Crimean Taratar’s’ national art, promote the talented artists from among children and young people and makes it possible to learn more about the culture of the Indigenous People of Crimea.

Indeed, the Crimean Tartar People has to preserve its traditions and national identity under the Russian aggression when the occupiers make maximum efforts to eliminate the Crimean Tartar’s culture.

The Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is deeply grateful to the organizers of the event, especially to the Crimean Tartar’s ATR channel, LALE, the children’s channel and the  Crimean Tartar’s  radio Meydan FM.

The Mission also greatly appreciates the activity of the State Border Guard Service, Azov and Black Sea Regional Directorate, the National Policy of Ukraine, the Main Directorate of the National Policy in AR of Crimea and Sevastopol City in arrangements, enabling the children from the temporarily occupied Crimea to take part in the festival.

Crimea will be liberated!

Crimea is Ukraine!
