In the framework of the recent developments in Ukraine, and particularly in Crimea, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is concerned about the security and well-being of the Muslim Crimean Tatar Community. Any recurrence of the past suffering of the Crimean Tatars who were expelled from their homeland in Crimea in the 20th Century should not be allowed.

It is of the utmost importance for the OIC that the right of citizenship, lives, religious and cultural heritage and property should be safeguarded.

It is the firm belief of the OIC that in the 21th century, constructive dialogue, peaceful and good neighborly relations should be the norm for the members of the international community.
