The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People

The representative body of the Crimean Tatar people, elected by the periodic sessions of the Qurultay, the national assembly of the Crimean Tatars. Before the Russian occupation, the Mejlis mostly focused its activities on Crimea where it had an extensive territorial structure – regional and local Mejlises. On 3/20/2014, the Ukrainian parliament in its Decree recognized the Qurultay as the supreme representative body of the Crimean Tatar people, and Mejlis as its executive body. Since 2016, Mejlis has been officially banned from any activities in Crimea and in the Russian Federation.
