Meskhetians are in a critical situation


Dear friends:

yesterday, the Russian Independent TV (HTB) showed the reportage
on the situation of Meskhetians in the Krasnodar Kray of Russia.
Local Ataman (Chief of Cossacks) warned the local Meskhetians that
they must go in one day or they should be evicted forcedly. The local
administration is supporting these demands. Meskhetians even can't
sell their houses, because the local residents don't pay nothing
waiting their deportation.

So, the Meskhetians are on the eve of new deportation while
Russian government and UN bodies keep silence.

Please, campaign for this poor nation.

The useful contacts are the following ones:

President of Russian Federation
Fax: (095) 2063961/2065137/2060033/2065173

Minister of Internal Affairs
Fax +7-095-2302580

Minister of Foreign Affairs
Fax +7-095-2441480

Thanks in advance!

Eldar Zeynalov,
Director
