Deputy Permanent Representative Olha Kuryshko participated in the ceremony of laying the foundation for the future “Crimean Tatar Manor” display at the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine.

The manor will be completely consistent with the Adzhi Osman’s house in Bakhchysarai.

During her speech, Olha Kuryshko congratulated the authors and organizers of the project on such an important event. Ms. Kuryshko also noted that cultural heritage is an important component of the identity of the people, so the implementation of the “Crimean Tatar Manor” project in this open-air museum shows the inextricable link between the history and culture of Crimea and Ukraine.

“While the Russian Federation is trying to destroy the identity of the Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian nations by destroying cultural and historical heritage sites in Crimea and other temporarily occupied territories, we are uniting even more and developing our achievements and expanding our cultural ties so that the whole world knows about Ukraine. The whole world knows about Ukrainian Crimea,” the Deputy Permanent Representative stressed.

The event was also attended by the Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People Refat Chubarov, Director General of the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Folkways of Ukraine Oksana Starak-Poviakel, Director of the Crimean House state enterprise Akhtem Seitablaiev, and Colonel Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, the Head of the Public Relations Service of the Territorial Defense Forces’ Command.
