dc.description.abstractAfter the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine has become a geopolitical and geostrategic battleground for NATO and the EU. The expansion policy aimed at encircling Russia and integrating Ukraine, the third-largest landowner among the former Soviet states, into the Western world ultimately culminated in the Russia-Ukraine War.Following the election on November 21, 2004, Ukraine became divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian factions. Despite allegations of election fraud and subsequent protests, pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych became the President. His prolonged tenure was marked by continuous protests and significant conflicts. Indeed, the clashes between protesters and security forces during the demonstrations from November 24 to 28, 2013, resembled an internal conflict akin to civil war. On January 20, 2014, the pro-Russian Crimean Parliament declared that Crimea would become independent if pro-EU forces came to power, asserting that Crimea would never be handed back to Ukraine. This declaration escalated the issue to the Crimean peninsula, ultimately leading to Russia's annexation of Crimea.A decade has passed since Russia’s occupation of Crimea. The impact of the annexation continues to linger in the memories of Crimean Tatars living in Turkey. This article presents an evaluation of the perceptions of the homeland among Crimean Tatars through statements regarding their organic connections with the Crimean region and their attitudes towards the occupation, based on a twenty-question survey conducted after the ten-year period.
dc.description.abstractUkrayna, SSCB’nin dagilmasindan sonra NATO ve AB’nin jeopolitik ve jeostratejik operasyon sahasi haline gelmistir. Rusya’yi kusatmak ve SSCB’nin bakiyesi devletlerin üçüncüsü büyük toprak sahibi Ukrayna’yi bati dünyasina eklemlemek üzerine gelistirilen genisleme siyaseti, nihayetinde Rusya-Ukrayna Savasi ile son noktaya ulasmistir. Ukrayna’da 21 Kasim 2004 tarihinde gerçeklesen seçim sonrasi toplum Bati ve Rusya yanlisi olarak ikiye bölünmüstür. Seçimde hile oldugu iddiasi ve sonrasindaki meydan gösterilerine ragmen Rus yanlisi Viktor Yanukovic Cumhurbaskani olmustur. Onun uzun süren iktidari sürekli meydan gösterileriyle ve büyük oranda çatismalarla geçmistir. Nitekim 24-28 Kasim 2013 tarihleri arasinda meydanlardaki gösterilerde göstericilerle güvenlik güçlerinin arasinda yasanan çatismalar adeta iç savasi andiran bir manzara ortaya çikarmistir. 20 Ocak 2014 tarihinde Rus yanlisi Kirim Parlamentosu, AB yanlilarinin iktidara gelmesi durumunda Kirim’in bagimsiz olacagini ve Ukrayna’ya asla bir daha teslim edilmeyecegini ilan ederek sorunu Kirim cografyasina tasimislardir. Bu gelismelerle baslayan süreç Rusya’nin Kirim’i isgaliyle sonuçlanmistir. Bugün, Rusya’nin Kirim’i isgalinin üzerinden on yil geçmistir. Isgalin etkisi, Türkiye’de yasayan Kirim Tatarlarinin belleklerinde hala devam etmektedir. Bu makalede yirmi soruluk bir anket çalismasi ile geçen on yila ragmen Kirim Tatarlarinin Kirim cografyasi ile organik baglari ve isgale karsi tutumlari hakkinda beyanlari alinarak anavatan algilarina dair bir degerlendirme yapilmistir.
