THE ADDRESS OF THE XI KURULTAY OF ALL TATARS PUBLIC CENTER

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION PUTIN V.V.
CHAIRMAN OF THE FEDERATION COUNCIL MATVIYENKO
CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE DUMA NARYSHKIN

Kazan 12.04.2014

Referendum on the state status of Tatarstan was held on March 21, 1992. 
61.4% of the citizens of the Republic participating in the voting answered “yes” to the question: Do you agree that the Republic of Tatarstan is a sovereign state, the subject of the international right, basing its relationships with the Russian Federation, other republics and states on the non-discriminatory treaties? This event ranks with such great events in importance as the adoption of “Declaration on the state sovereignty of the Republic of Tatarstan” of August 30, 1990 and the Tatarstan Constitution of November 6, 1992.

Referendum of March 21, 1992 was held in full conformity with the democratic procedures and international legal standards. It was confirmed by many of the international observers. It was the date when the people of Tatarstan realized its right to self-determination. This right is guaranteed by the UN Charter, the Universal declaration of Human Rights, UN Declaration of the Indigenous People Rights. UN International Court in its decision of July 22, 2010 basing on the item 2, Article 1 of the UN Charter has marked the following: “There follows no general prohibition of the unilateral proclaiming of sovereignty from the Security Council practice”. And further: “The general international law contains no applicable prohibition of the self-determination proclaiming”. It will be appropriate to remember the written memorandum of USA of April 17, 2009 submitted into the UN International Court in respect of the hearings regarding Kosovo: “Self-determination declarations may, and very often do violate the internal legislation. But it will not mean that there occurs any violation of the international law”.

Referendum manifests public will; and it is the public which may overturn its results. But in 2002 there has occurred a “quiet” coup in Tatarstan. Tatarstan Constitution of 1992 has been overturned by “cutting out” the lines from the articles “a sovereign state- subject of the international right”, “land and its entrails are the public property”, “the laws of the Republic of Tatarstan possess supremacy on its entire territory”. There has remained only the name from the Tatarstan state.

The RF authorities disclaim the “Declaration on the state sovereignty of the Republic of Tatarstan” of August 30, 1990 and the referendum results of March 21, 1992. The policy is being carried out aimed at elimination of national identity, education , indigenous peoples languages – Latin alphabet prohibition (Federal law No 130432-3), Federal law No 309 on prohibition of passing the Uniform state exam on the RF peoples’ languages, Federal law No 430281-5, Federal law of December 31, 2012 “On RF formation”, Decree No 1666 “On the strategy…”. The provocative declarations are being made on the national identity of the indigenous peoples’ liquidation (on the “sole president”, on “integration”, on “governorates’ formation”). RF administration wouldn’t “consider” international law, RF Constitution, which definitely indicates in the article 5 that the republics are actually the states having right to equality and self-determination of peoples in RF. The article 11 indicates that coordination between the RF state power bodies and the RF subjects’ state power bodies is fulfilled on the basis of the RF Constitution, Federative and other treaties on delimitation of matters of authority. The Republic of Tatarstan and Chechnya have not signed the Federative treaty of the SOVEREIGN republics within the RF and the protocol to the treaty, that is why their relationships are subject to regulation by the “treaty”. But in spite of this the RF Administration permanently performs self-willed unconditional denuding of receipts from the Republic. Only in 2013 Tatarstan has given to Moscow 713 bln. of its revenues without compensation.

The Russian Federation has acknowledged the legitimacy of referendum in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea of March 16, 2014 carried out on the territory of Ukraine. We consider that the RF authorities must be consistent and acknowledge the legitimacy of the Republic of Tatarstan referendum of March 21, 1992 and demand the real compliance with the RF Constitution.
XI Kuriltay of the All Tatarstan Public Center demands:

1. Acknowledgment by the Russian Federation of the “Declaration on state sovereignty of the Republic of Tatarstan” of August 30, 1990 and the results of the referendum.
2. Restoration of RT Constitution adopted on November 6, 1992. 
3. Restoration of the “Treaty on delimitation and mutual delegation of authorities between the RF and the RT state power bodies” validity of February 15, 1994, adopted for an unlimited period of time on the basis of the part 3 article 11 of the RF Constitution; and termination of the Republic of Tatarstan people robbing.
