Quote: Participants in a meeting in Simferopol this Saturday express protest against joining of Ukraine to the plan of action for NATO membership.
There are posters in central Simferopol with symbols of the Communist and Socialist parties, the party Union, the Progressive Socialists, Litvin's bloc, the Party of Regions and the Union of Left Forces.
According to various data, from 7,000 to 10,000 people have gathered for the rally. They chant "Sevastopol, Crimea, Russia" and "No to NATO".
Crimean communists' leader Leonid Grach, speaking at the meeting, harshly criticised the policy of U.S. President George Bush who will arrive in Kiev on Monday for a visit. Grach proposed the meeting to make a statement about crimes committed against humanity for the unleashed wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yugoslavia. The meeting supported the idea.
