Ukrainian media are trying to make a sensation out of the fact that some Crimean Tatars are taking part in the fighting in Syria.

Fazil Amzaev, head of information office of Hizb ut-Tahrir Islamic political party in Ukraine told this at the press-conference in Simferopol, reported the Crimean News Agency.

“Some individuals are going to Syria to take part in the conflict, with a humanitarian mission or any other mission,” he said.

At the same time, Amzaev noted that Hizb ut-Tahrir doesn’t possess information on how many Crimean Tatars are involved in the Syrian conflict.
