President's Commissioner for the Crimean Tatar People, Petro Poroshenko Bloc MP Mustafa Jemilev has said that 160 houses, mosques and education institutions of the Crimean Tatars have been searched since the occupation of their motherland, which constitutes evidence of growing hostilities in Crimea.

"Such kind of chauvinistic expressions hasn't been seen even in the Soviet times. Our compatriots are attempting to arouse fear and to make [the Crimean Tatars leave their Motherland," the BPP press service quotes Jemilev as saying on Thursday.

He said that these searches are being carried out as acts of provocation.

"But we have been always calling out against violent methods of struggle…we don't see military a scenario of conflict solution. On the contrary, we're against this."

Jemilev added that 80,000 Russian servicemen are already deployed in Crimea, nuclear storage facilities have been revamped, and trucks have appeared that warn of nuclear danger.
