It requires firm and efficient coordination of actions in the protection of the rights of Crimean Tatars and liberation of annexed Crimea," the President said in the course of the joint press availability with the Prime Minister of Sweden. He added that the meeting had been attended by one of the leaders of Crimean Tatars, people's deputy Mustafa Dzhemilev.
