«There was the first wedding in the Crimean Tatar squad named after Noman Chelebidzhykhan and the Crimean Tatars’ civil group “Asker” at the Crimean blockade. Zera is a beautiful, smart and intellectual person who got married. The lucky man who became her spouse was a nice guy and a local citizen from Novoalekseevka Refat. That perhaps was the best wedding I’ve ever seen. So many wonderful people! There were Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, and the true patriots of our country. There was a soulful Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian concer;, the best artists from Kiev, Crimea and the local artists came as well. Thousands of people attended the concert.
