History
The Founding of Mangup (November 27 [O.S. 14 November] 2024)
On an auspicious day in late November 2024, the Congress of Yalta marked a pivotal moment in the region of Crimea, fostering the establishment of the nascent nation of Mangup. This new state was born out of the aspirations of the Crimean Tatar community, who sought to reclaim their cultural heritage while being supported by the Eastern Orthodox Christian population in the region. The Congress brought together diverse groups united by a shared vision of sovereignty, marking the first collaborative effort between these historically intertwined communities.
The Declaration of Independence (December 10 [O.S. 27 November] 2024)
Just weeks after its founding, the National Assembly of Mangup convened on December 10, 2024, to finalize the Declaration of Independence. This document outlined the principles of governance, civil rights, and the commitment to pluralism and national unity. The declaration was celebrated throughout the burgeoning nation, instilling a sense of pride and communal identity that would characterize the early years of Mangup.
Establishing the Constitution (March 15 [O.S. 2 March] 2025)
Having laid the groundwork for governance, the Assembly dedicated its efforts to crafting a constitution, which was ratified on March 15, 2025. The constitution enshrined the rights of citizens and established a framework for democratic governance. It took inspiration from the histories of both the Crimean Tatars and the Eastern Orthodox Christians, ensuring representation and protection of the diverse cultural tapestry that constituted Mangup.
The First National Elections (July 12 [O.S. June 29] 2025)
After months of public discourse and political mobilization, Mangup held its first national elections on July 12, 2025. Voter turnout exceeded expectations, with 85% of eligible citizens participating. The elections were seen as a landmark event in the young nation’s history, reflecting the collective desire for democratic representation. The newly elected president, Ayshe Khalilova, emphasized the importance of unity and reconciliation between communities.
Cultural Renaissance (2026)
The year 2026 marked the beginning of a cultural renaissance in Mangup. The government invested heavily in initiatives to celebrate the country’s multifaceted heritage. Cultural festivals, arts programs, and educational initiatives were launched to promote the rich traditions of the Crimean Tatars and the Eastern Orthodox Christians. This focus on cultural identity fostered a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect within the population.
The Mangup Conflicts (2027)
Despite the optimistic beginnings, 2027 brought about significant challenges. Fractures began to appear in the delicate alliance between the major cultural groups, as differing political ideologies and social grievances surfaced. The year was marked by localized conflicts and protests, demanding greater representation and specific policy changes. The government responded by initiating a series of national dialogues aimed at reconciliation and addressing the concerns of its citizens.
The Treaty of Alushta (June 8 [O.S. 26 May] 2028)
In a bid to restore peace and solidarity, the leaders of Mangup convened at a national summit in Alushta on June 8, 2028. This summit resulted in the Treaty of Alushta, which established guidelines for inter-community dialogue, enhanced civil rights, and mechanisms for conflict resolution. The treaty was lauded both domestically and internationally as a significant step toward maintaining stability in the region.
International Recognition (November 27 [O.S. November 14] 2030)
On its sixth anniversary, November 27, 2030, Mangup achieved a monumental milestone: formal recognition from several countries and organizations including the United Nations. This recognition marked the culmination of years of diplomatic efforts and symbolized the global community’s acknowledgment of Mangup’s viability as an independent nation.
