Impossibility to Restore and to Use National Names

173.

Formally the Law on National Minorities allows to the members of the National Minorities to use the national forms of the names and surnames. But due to the absence of the established procedure of the restoration of those names the authorities are failure to implement this provision. But even more. Now through the procedure of the exchange of the passports or receiving of the Ukrainian citizenship Crimean Tatars are made to take the personal documents (certificates, passports, diplomas etc.) where their native names perversed with the Russification and influence of Central Asian phonetics are deformed again in the accordance with the grammar, traditions and pronouncing on Ukrainian language. The refuse to take these documents with the deformed names means really to refuse from the personal documents. At the same time it crates the difficulties at the legal questions because the officials pay attention not to the native form of the names but to their script which becomes different in different documents.

174.

The phonetics of the Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian language is rather different so it is practically impossible to express or to pronounce the Crimean Tatar names written on the Ukrainian script by the right way.

Perversion of Historical Geographic Names

175.	Renaming of the historical names in the Crimea inflicted the large casualty of a traditional culture of Crimean Tatars. Currently, 95-97% of geographical names using in the Crimea, were established by some decrees of a Presidium of the Supreme Council of Soviet Union in 1945-1948, with special aim to destroy, "to wipe off the face of the Earth" the memory itself about existence of Crimean Tatars.
176.	Mejlis of Crimean Tatar People the cultural and religious communities have repeatedly and persistently appealed to the authorities of different level: local, regional and central of Ukraine with demand to take a fast and effective measures to protection and restoration of the cultural heritage of Crimean Tatars, including a search and return of the objects of a culture, which were removed to other districts of Ukraine or abroad, as well as protection and restoration of an architectural monuments, restoration of a historical toponimy of the Crimea. Government has not only taken any measures, but even these questions were not paid by serious attention.
177.	When Crimean Tatars claimed to the restoration of the historical geographic names in Crimea Government proposed to conduct a referendum on the question referring to the provisions of the Ukrainian law. But this is obvious that Russian new - settlers will never be agree to re-establish the traditional Crimean Tatar (first of all but not only) geographic names in Crimea. It must be done by the decision of central Government or Crimean Tatars will loose the part of their historical memory forever.
