    Crimea has today commemorated the Armenians, Bulgarians and Greeks
    that were forcibly displaced from the peninsula 65 years ago.

    Representatives of the Armenian, Bulgarian and Greek national and
    cultural communities, as well as the Crimean residents have gathered
    together at the Simferopol railway station to commemorate the victims
    of the deportation 1944 and lay flowers to a memorable plaque. On May
    18, 1944, the Stalin regime forcibly displaced about 200,000 of the
    Crimea Tatars from Crimea. They were accused of collaboration with
    the fascists. On June 24, 1944 the same happened to the Armenians,
    Bulgarians and Greeks.
