I'll do this for the third time on DU:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meskhetian_Turks#1989_deportation.5B23.5D_from_Uzbekistan_to_other_Soviet_countries

The Krasnodar Meskhetian Turks have suffered significant human rights violations, including the deprivation of their citizenship. They are deprived of civil, political and social rights and are prohibited from owning property and employment. Thus, since 2004, many Turks have left the Krasnodar region for the United States as refugees. They are still barred from full repatriation to Georgia.

This continues under Putin. Do you think he gives a half a shit about Muslims in Crimea?
