SIMFEROPOL, Apr 25 Head of the Crimean Parliament Vladimir Konstantinov called illegitimate the decision to transfer Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR from the RSFSR in 1954 and called for its abolition.
Earlier, State Duma deputy Konstantin Zatulin also made a similar proposal.
«We also carried out a legal examination of this issue and also have every reason to believe that the decisions of 1954 are illegitimate. I believe that in the history of the process of flagrant injustice and legal nihilism launched in 1954, one should put full stop. Politically, this was done in 2014. Legally, it should be done in the near future,» Konstantinov said. who for many years dealt with the issue of the legality of the transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR.
«He has a powerful legal base that proves the legal nullity of the acts by which it was formalized. Who initiates this process is not so important. But we will definitely join forces and with State Duma deputy Zatulin, and with all our allies in this noble cause, and we will bring it to its logical conclusion,» the head of parliament said.
