It's like in "The Ten Commandments" where they marked the doors of the
Jews with lamb's blood - only this time in reverse.

ANOTHER WORRYING NEWS FROM CRIMEA
As Safure Kajametova, member of Crimea Parliament (Kurultay-Rukh
fraction) wrote on her Facebook page, unknown persons have started
placing marks on homes of Crimea Tatars.
"Anonymous persons have been marking doors of Crimean Tatar families at
points of Crimean Tatars residence at night time. Tonight, the sign has
been put onto our doors too (there are only 3 Tatar families on our
street)... So, 25 years after the well-known anddreary deeds in Fergana
I have faced death's evil grin again but this will not do! Our children
and families, our people are behind us! No panic, we have faced the
harder times. There's no need to leave, our native land and home walls,
the home that we have been building for long 25 years, which we have
been putting up for long and peaceful life -- these walls will protect
us from any evil. The walls at home are your friends, your comfort and
your helping hands! We did not flee from Crimea in 1944, neither we
returned after the end of deportation to flee again leaving our homes.
Maybe this is what we are expected to do, when the panic misleads us,
the fear obscures but we have no place to escape - THIS LAND IS OUR HOME
LAND, there is no land behind us, only the Black sea... Take care of
your children and your families".
As witnesses tell, anonymous people with baseball bats and bills were
noticed hanging around in the evening. Many locals believe the abusers
are trying to threaten Crimean Tatars this way.
As a reminder, Refat Chubarov, chief of The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar
People, has warned about possible provocations towards Crimean Tatars.
Vitaliy Portnikov, TVi chief editor and TV presenter has also expressed
his worries concerning possible ethnic cleansings towards Crimean Tatars.
