Purpose
Mission
Our mission is to build durable political and international representation for the idea of an independent Tatarstan: a state in which decisions about the republic’s future are made by its citizens, the Tatar language and culture can develop fully, and human rights and civic equality do not depend on nationality, language, or origin.
