The participants of the event focused on the international recognition of the deportation as genocide, including the involvement of the member states of the International Crimean Platform in this process. In addition, the speakers discussed the scale and consequences of the losses suffered by the Crimean Tatars as a result of the deportation, as well as the role and place of international organizations in ensuring the rights of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, including the right to self-determination within a sovereign Ukrainian state.
Special attention was also paid to the importance of international mechanisms for the reintegration of the temporarily occupied Crimea into Ukraine. Thus, Eskender Bariev spoke about the model of the Future of Crimea, which consists of the following components:
I. Positive Ukrainization of Crimea;
II. Guaranteed protection of human rights in Crimea;
III. Realization of the collective rights of the indigenous peoples of Ukraine;
IV. The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is a national-territorial autonomy of the Crimean Tatar people;
V. Crimea is an economically developed and touristically attractive region of Ukraine.
