Crimean Tatar leader and Ukrainian parliamentarian Dzhemilev will be barred from entering Crimea - acting head of Crimea

SIMFEROPOL. May 2 (Interfax) - The leadership of the Republic of Crimea will not allow Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada deputy and former leader of the Crimean-Tatar Majilis Mustafa Dzhemilev, whom some Crimean Tatars consider their national leader, enter the region, acting head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov said.

"There are no doubts that this man has been tasked by Western special services with destabilizing the situation," Aksyonov said in a commentary on the Crimean Council of Ministers' Facebook account on Friday.

"We will not allow our peace and serenity to be upset. We will not let in anyone coming to us with bad intentions," Aksyonov said.
