Abstract
On the Relation of the Crimean Turks during the World War II
The Crimean peninsula, being under Russian occupation since 1783, was occupied by the German forces in the World War II. A great part of the local Turks greeted them as salvators, as did other people of the Soviet Union. But the Germans proved not to be so with their harsh policies. What is worst is that Stalin punished the Turks by exiling to Siberia and Central Asia with the pretext of cooperating with Germans.<
