The event is organised by Junior Assembly of Tatarstan Peoples with the support of Junior Public Chamber and Tatarstan Youth Affairs and Sport Ministry.

Farid Mukhametshin congratulated Junior Assembly of Tatarstan Peoples on gaining a legal status. “I have a full right to congratulate you on Tatarstan Justice Ministry having approved the document. You are now a registered independent public youth association. What you waited for has come true,” he said.

State Council Chair mentioned refugees from Ukraine. “We need to show our possibilities and help these people until peace and quiet are restored in their country,” stressed Mukhametshin.
