The leaders of the Ruthenian movement in Transcarpathia, together with human rights activists, held yesterday an action outside the walls of the administration of the Ukrainian president, RIA News message portal "Podrobnosti.ua".
“Representatives of the movement demand to recognize the results of the referendum 1991 of the year, in which 78% of residents voted for a special status for Transcarpathia, and also to recognize the Ruthenians as a national minority”- writes Ukrainian resource.
One of the leaders of the movement, Andrei Yurik, reminded journalists that the Minsk agreements provided for granting self-proclaimed Donbas republics a special status. In his opinion, the Rusins are no worse, and they should also be given a similar status.
According to the participants of the action, “the Rusyns are an indigenous people of Transcarpathia,” but they still continue to be “called Ukrainians and not recognized as a national minority.”
The reaction of the presidential administration to the demands of the protesters has not yet been reported.
