30 August 1990 — Day of adopting the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Republic of Tatarstan. The Declaration of the Supreme Council of the Tatar ASSR proclaimed the state sovereignty of Tatarstan as a democratic state governed by the rule of law and emphasized the “inalienable right of the people of the republic to self-determination, the right to own land and natural resources”, and that “the Constitution and laws of the Tatar SSR have supremacy throughout the territory of the Tatar SSR.”
The centralization of power in Moscow’s hands will not stop the collapse of the Russian Empire of Evil. The current humiliated position of the Tatars in the Republic of Tatarstan and the unfair treatment of all Tatars is a strong incentive for us to restore our statehood.
We remember and celebrate the Independence Day of the Republic of Tatarstan with pride and faith that Tatarstan will be an independent, democratic state and a full-fledged subject of international law!
Sincerely,
Rafis Kashapov is the Prime Minister of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in exile;
Aida Abdrakhmanova – Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in Exile for National and Religious Issues; Vice President of the Anti-Imperial Bloc of Nations;
Nafis Kashapov – Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in Exile for Sports;
Rais Mukhutdinov – Ambassador of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in Exile to the Republic of Turkey;
Zufar Zainullin – Ambassador of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in Exile to the Republic of Latvia.
