Deputy Minister of the Interior and head of Ukrainian Ministry Chief Administration in the Crimea Gennady Moskal prepares a draft on banning activity of the Hizb ut-Tahrir in the country. He also requested Foreign Minister Vladimir Khandogy to collect documents proving this organization had been banned in other countries, Ukrainian edition of the Kommersant daily informs on Wednesday. Moskal is especially concerned with growing activity of this organization in the Crimea as it may result in “destabilization of interethnic relations in South Ukraine.” He reminded that some states even consider Hizb ut-Tahrir a terroristic organization. It is banned in Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirgizia, Germany, Pakistan and Syria.
“I want to live in a state of Ukraine and not in an Islamic state they call “Caliphate.” I don’t want to run into Jihad!” Moskal said.
