title: Krymskí Tatári
abstract: The Crimean Tatars although they form one of the oldest ethnic groups on the Crimean peninsula, belong to the population group that is constantly restricted in their rights and freedom. The tragic events of the last hundred years have dramatically changed the fate of this Muslim ethnic group. The demographic composition of the population, the famine, the Second World War and the annexation of Crimea were the events that fundamentally affected the lives of the Crimean Tatars for many decades.
