In the Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea are assured that the murder of the 19-year-old inhabitant of Ilichevo village (the Soviet area), Ekaterina Koren, committed by her fellow villager, 16-year-old Bilal Gaziev, has no religious or national underlying reason. About it at the press conference in Simferopol was declared by the assistant to the Mufti of the Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea, Ayder Ismailov.
"This is a murder, similar to which we face often enough. It is the case, I do not wish to say ordinary, but this murder, similar to which occur in our society, and to motivate it with religious or national ground will be inappropriate, I think. Moreover, the chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean-Tatar people, Mustafa Dzhemilev, made corresponding statement. I do not know the family which adopted this boy, however according to his (Mustafa Dzhemilev's - ed.) statement, it appears that it is not a religious family, and this boy did not express any interest to religion. If someone searches for religious underlying reason in it, that is inappropriate", the assistant to the Mufti of Crimea stated.
Ayder Ismailov also noticed that the Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea grieves about it, condemns any similar actions and demands punishment of the guilty according to the legislation of Ukraine.
"Whoever done it, believer or non-believer, the Crimean Tatar or not the Crimean Tatar, if he broke the law, if he violated the rights of the person, he should be punished according to the law", he emphasized.
Let us remind, the chairman of the Mejlis, Mustafa Dzhemilev, stated that the messages in the mass media that the 16-year-old inhabitant of Sovietskoye village, Bilal Gaziev, killed 19-year-old Ekaterina Koren ostensibly under the law of Sheriat are provocative, because, as he said, the murderer has no any relation to Islam.
Moreover, religious motives of the murder in Sovietskoye were categorically denied in the Central Administrative Board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in Crimea.
