In the summer of 1993 radical Crimean Tatars, led by the head of Bahçisaray Mejlis [[İlmi Umerov]], announced their intention to reestablish the Milliy Fırqa. According to Umerov, the Milliy Fırqa would struggle against both [[Russia]] and [[Ukraine]] as well as the local Crimean authorities. Moreover, Umerov declared that their aim was a national state of the Crimean Tatar people, on all territory of the Crimea, in which ethnic Crimean Tatars will receive priority treatment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.turkishweekly.net/article/97/sources-of-ethnic-conflicts-and-conflict-resolution-in-crimean-peninsula-deportation-surgun-repatriation-and-crimean-tatars.html|title=Sources Of Ethnic Conflicts And Conflict Resolution In Crimean Peninsula: Deportation (Sürgün), Repatriation And Crimean Tatars|publisher=turkishweekly.net|accessdate=2014-02-28}}</ref> |

The organization has generally been in opposition to the [[Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People]]. In September 2008 Abduraimov gained considerable notoriety through a letter to [[Medvedev]], [[Putin]] and the president of [[Tatarstan]], calling on the Russian Federation “to defend the indigenous and other small ethnic groups in the Crimea from the nationalist-leaning official authorities in Ukraine”. This came at a time when the war between Russia and Georgia over [[South Ossetia]] was prompting the international community to pay closer attention to the [[Crimea]]. Abduraimov’s action was condemned by most Crimean Tatars,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unpo.org/article/15577|title=UNPO: Crimean Tatars: Worrying Political Manoeuvres By Ukrainian Government:|publisher=unpo.org|accessdate=2014-02-28}}</ref> including members of Milliy Fırqa.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.khpg.org.ua/en/index.php?id=1222254791|title=Abduraimov, author of a scandalous appeal forced to resign|publisher=khpg.org.ua|accessdate=2014-02-28}}</ref> In 2010 Abduraimov asked the Tatars not to support any candidate for the [[Ukrainian presidential election, 2010|2010 Ukrainian presidential election]].<ref name="ref-1491086636">{{cite web|url=http://qha.com.ua/several-members-leave-milli-firqa-62986en.html|title=Several members leave Milli Fırqa - Crimean News Agency|publisher=qha.com.ua|accessdate=2014-02-28}}</ref> |

As a strong opponent of the [[Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People|Mejlis]], supporter of the 2014 annexation of the peninsula, and critic of the post-[[Euromaidan]] Ukrainian government, Abduraimov is universally considered to be part of the pro-Russia faction in Crimea; however, his staunch opposition to the controversial "Crimean Rose" Russian settlement project, demolitions of Crimean Tatar houses, certain bans on rallies, and other measures against the Crimean Tatars has been a subject of disagreement with others in the Russian government.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tatars split over Russian rule after annexation of Crimea - World News |url=https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/tatars-split-over-russian-rule-after-annexation-of-crimea-66515 |access-date=2021-03-26 |website=Hürriyet Daily News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Васви Абдураимов: То, что происходит в Крыму – это полный бардак и беспредел |url=https://ru.krymr.com/a/news/27982406.html |access-date=2021-03-26 |website=Крым.Реалии |language=ru}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Dyomkin |first1=Denis |last2=Winning |first2=Alexander |date=2014-05-16 |title=Crimean Tatars condemn ban on rally to mark Stalin's persecution |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-crisis-crimea-tatars-idUSBREA4F0EL20140516 |access-date=2021-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-10-18 |title=Васви Абдураимову - 60! |url=http://milli-firka.org/%d0%b2%d0%b0%d1%81%d0%b2%d0%b8-%d0%b0%d0%b1%d0%b4%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b8%d0%bc%d0%be%d0%b2%d1%83-60/ |access-date=2021-03-26 |website=Милли Фирка |language=ru}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=В Крыму дом Васви Абдураимова был закидан «коктейлями Молотова» - Телеканал ATR |url=https://atr.ua/news/173795-v-krymu-dom-vasvi-abduraimova-byl-zakidan-koktejlyami-molotova |access-date=2021-03-27 |website=ATR.UA |language=ru}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-08-09 |title=Власти Крыма подыгрывают президенту Украины, – общественник |url=https://sevastopol.su/news/vlasti-kryma-podygryvayut-prezidentu-ukrainy-obshchestvennik |access-date=2021-03-27 |website=sevastopol.su |language=ru}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-oVpAAAAMAAJ |title=RFE/RL Research Report |date=May 1994 |publisher=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Incorporated |pages=14 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Crimea's interests not represented |url=http://khpg.org//en/1221486403 |access-date=2021-04-25 |website=Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group}}</ref> |

Milliy Fırqa (lit. 'People's Party') is a pro-Russian Crimean Tatar non-government organization founded in 2006. Its name is taken from the former party Milliy Fırqa which was banned by the Soviet authorities in 1921. The current leader is Vasvi Abduraimov.
In 2010, Abduraimov asked Crimean Tatars not to support any candidate in the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election.[1]
Despite marginal support, Abduraimov and Milliy Fırqa were close to the government of Viktor Yanukovych,[2] as well as to the Crimean government of Anatolii Mohyliov. Before the 2013 Crimean Tatar Remembrance Day of Victims of the Deportation, the Simferopol City Council first announced that they were going to ban the event. Later, Crimean authorities accepted a proposal from Milliy Fırqa, who would now be responsible for the event. However, in the face of protests from Crimean Tatar diaspora organizations from Europe, the United States and Turkey, Milliy Fırqa withdrew from the event on 10 May 2013, eight days before the event was scheduled to occur.[3]
During the Russian occupation of Crimea and the subsequent annexation, Milliy Fırqa was possibly the only Crimean Tatar organization to publicly back the referendum organized by the occupational authorities.
As a strong opponent of the Mejlis, supporter of the 2014 annexation of the peninsula, and critic of the post-Euromaidan Ukrainian government, Abduraimov is universally considered to be part of the pro-Russia faction in Crimea; however, his staunch opposition to the controversial "Crimean Rose" Russian settlement project, demolitions of Crimean Tatar houses, certain bans on rallies, and other measures against the Crimean Tatars has been a subject of disagreement with others in the Russian government.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
