Dear Apertiumers,

This message is a personal (not presidential) message.

I am sure you know that the Russian authorities now in control of Crimea
have forced the closure of ATR the only Crimean Tatar TV station there,
through bureaucratic impediments and delays [1]. Crimean Tatar (crh) is
a Turkic language that has been in Apertium's focus for a while. 

I just want to express and share my regret and repulse for such an
action, as it is also an attack on a small language and a form of
language genocide.

Best,

Mikel
