Crimea historically was Russian territory. in 80s in soviet union Ukraine was trying to build bridge to Russia and to avoid all and any loads of paperwork soviet Gen-Sec gave Crimea to Ukraine as a gift, just to speed up process of building bridge, but still 90% of population are Russians. So go figure it out.

He says they should let people of Crimea stand on their own feet. But that is exactly what they did, they stood up and said we want out of Ukraine mess. He contradicted himself in just 2 minutes.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET THE TURKISH PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS. IT SEEMED TO ME THAT HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT CRIMEA BEING PART OF RUSSIA.

Erdogan is the best leader on earth. He fights against western terrorist capitalists and try to achieve peace in this world. I wish, my every best wishes to him. Neo-Ottomanism will rise up again.
