"The #CrimeanTatars are the Turkic-speaking native people of #Crimea, absorbed by the #Mongol #GoldenHorde in the 13th century. They adopted #Islam and broke away as the powerful Crimean Khanate in the 15th century. After Russian annexation in 1783, the process of persecution and expulsion began under imperial rule, and it was continued under the #SovietUnion." #UkraineWar
