By empty (12/13/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Tatar youth organization Liberty (Azatlyk) met in Naberezhnie Chelny on 10 December and passed a resolution criticizing what it called President Putin\'s policies that are promoted by unnamed politicians and commentators and aimed at Russifying the peoples of the Russian Federation. The document said that Putin\'s efforts to foster a single national identity for all the peoples of the federation includes promoting the \"leading role of the [Great] Russian nation\" and language to the detriment of the identities, languages, and cultures of other nations and denying those nations the \"right to decolonization and self-determination.\" The declaration suggested that the Tatars have \"for centuries\" worked for the benefit of the \"Russian empire.Visit also
