Russia - The complaint of the museums of the Crimea on the transfer of Scythian gold to Kiev entered the court

Russia (bbabo.net), - The Supreme Court of the Netherlands received a cassation appeal filed by Crimean museums against the decision of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to transfer the collection of Scythian gold to Ukraine. About this with reference to the press secretary of the court Vincent Hyuntink RIA Novosti reports.

According to Hyuntik, the next step will be a "preliminary administrative process." However, the press secretary clarified that the date of hearings in connection with the filed cassation has not yet been determined.

Commenting on the position of the Crimean museums, State Duma deputy from Crimea Aleksey Chernyak considered the decision of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal "criminal and unfair." The parliamentarian is convinced that the collection belongs to the Crimean museums and should be kept by them.

- On the Ukrainian side, no one can guarantee the integrity of the collection, and the Dutch court should be concerned about the stabilization of the situation in this country! - Chernyak emphasized and added that, despite the less and less faith in European justice, there is still hope for the triumph of justice.

Earlier, the director of the "East Crimean Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve" Tatyana Umrikhina said that four Crimean museums, including herself, would file a complaint with the Supreme Court of the Netherlands against the above-mentioned decision of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal.

The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that he had appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to involve the Prosecutor General's Office in the trial of the collection of Scythian gold.

Recall that in October 2021, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal considered the Scythian gold the property of Ukraine. A collection of four Crimean museums - about 2,000 artifacts - was taken to an exhibition in the Museum of Amsterdam in February 2014 - even before Crimea was reunited with Russia.
