The Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea press-service reports that the V Crimean Muslims Kurultai is to be held on September 28.
There is a list of important issues on the agenda, including the Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea Report for the last five years and the new Mufti elections.
Emarali-Haji Ablaev has been elected for this post twice since 1999.
It bears reminding that 269 of 279 delegates representing different Muslim communities of Crimea, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya disrticts supported Emirali-Hajji’s nomination during the last Kurultai in July, 2008.
The election, however, is to be held in October instead of August as reported earlier. Lilia Muslimova, the press-secretary of the acting Head of Mejlis Mustafa Jamilev announced the session opening to take place on October, 1, and the Crimean Tatars will define the agenda during that first session. Kurultai will also delegate 33 of their members to the Crimean Tatars National Highest Representative Body - Mejlis - so they could take part in electing the new Head of Mejlis.
