The resumption of broadcasting by ATR, the only Crimean Tatar TV channel in the world, on Ramadan was symbolic, Crimean Tatar Mejlis Chairman, MP of Petro Poroshenko’s Bloc Refat Chubarov has said.

“It is a very important event for us. When we returned to our land after the long exile and saw the state of [our] language, culture, religion, the question has arisen – what shall we do? Just then the idea of creating a Crimean Tatar TV channel originated,” Chubarov said at a press conference in Kyiv on June 18, his party’s press service reported.
