Had Ukraine recognized Crimean Tatars earlier and made it easier for Tatars to resettle from Uzbekistan, Ukrainians in Crimea would not have been the minority but a healthy majority. UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES EVALUATION AND POLICY ANALYSIS UNIT stated in March 2004 that an estimated 14,000 were unable to obtain Ukrainian citizenship (8,500 FDPs and 5,500 FDP family members or non-FDP migrants). The largest case load is from Uzbekistan, followed by Russian Federation. Somewhat smaller numbers are from Georgia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. • 89,000 persons in Ukraine believe themselves to be stateless according to the 2001 all-Ukrainian census. • 75,000 persons in places of former exile (IOM 1997) experience barriers to renouncing Uzbek and obtaining Ukrainian citizenship that violate the 1992 Bishkek agreement and the 1993 Minsk agreement.un.ua/eng/article/499489.html
