300,000 Crimean Tatars have returned to their homeland from the diaspora, but hundreds of thousands<br />

more remain abroad in Europe, North America and Central Asia. As a people, the Crimean Tatars<br />

continue to experience a major awakening in their national identity, which did not whither with the fall<br />

of the Soviet Union but only strengthened. This nationality will continue to remain an important player in<br />

Eurasia, and understanding them is vital for developing a coherent comprehension of this complex,<br />

geostrategic and multifaceted region.<br />
