"This work significantly advances our conceptual and empirical knowledge. It generates a new conceptual understanding by utilizing the framing processes and creates a useful typology that might inspire many other diaspora researchers. ... it is also helpful for those who desire to understand the historical dynamics of contemporary Crimean politics, Crimean Tatars' relationships with the Russian regime as well as the persecutions and forcible movements to which they have been exposed in the post-annexation period."
