"Russian FSB officers have surrounded the Crimean Tatar Mejlis (Parliament) building, the representative-executive body of Crimean Tatars in Simferopol announced on September 16.
Masked, armed FSB officers and policemen who have encircled the Mejlis building in Simferopol have as yet refused to comment on the situation, claiming that they are not authorized to comment.
"I came to work shortly after 9.30 a.m. but the building was blocked by armed people in balaclavas and uniforms," Dilyaver Akiev, head of the secretariat of the assembly, or Mejlis, said by phone.
"They are not letting anyone in or out, they are assisted by regular police and the FSB (Federal Security Service) is carrying out searches inside," he said from Crimea's provincial capital Simferopol."
Will this be the start of a new purge?
