Another blow flew from Turkey to the back of Russia
Verily, it is better to have no ally than such. Hypocritical policy Turkey in relation to Russia is manifested not only in the Syrian issue. The Foreign Minister of this country, Mevlut Cavusoglu, made an extremely hostile statement to Moscow.
As a matter of fact, this statement was addressed not even to Russia, but to Europe, but it concerned the Crimean peninsula. Cavusoglu reproached European countries for allegedly paying less attention to the Crimean issue.
The minister said this during a dinner in Ankara at the Center for Culture and Assistance to Crimean Tatars. The event was attended by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin and the odious Crimean Tatar leader, one of the organizers of the energy blockade of Crimea, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Mustafa Dzhemilev.
- quotes the words of Cavusoglu Turkish news agency İhlas.
He also promised that Ankara would strongly support Ukraine.
As the deputy head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Council of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation Vladimir Dzhabarov said on this occasion, the words of Cavusoglu were said in order to “please the voters” in the upcoming elections in Turkey. The fact is that approximately two million Crimean Tatars live in this country.
- added Jabarov.
Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the same Committee, emphasized that Turkey is currently under considerable pressure from the West. There she is criticized for the political situation and for the Kurdish question. And the statement by the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry is an attempt to divert Western attention from Turkey and switch it to Russia. However, such words will not contribute to the improvement of Russian-Turkish relations.
Cavusoglu also responded to the unfriendly move in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on Defense Yuri Shvytkin expressed perplexity and indignation on this subject. According to him, in this way Turkey is trying to "play along" with the European Union:
The Permanent Representative of Crimea to the President of the Russian Federation, Deputy Head of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Georgy Muradov commented on the situation as follows:
Muradov recalled historical facts. As early as 1774 and in 1783, Russia and Turkey signed post-war treaties, during which the Turkish side recognized Crimea as part of Russia.
This is not the first time that Turkey has made provocative statements regarding the status of Crimea. As early as March of this year, the Turkish Foreign Ministry claimed that the referendum, during which the Crimeans expressed a desire to live with Russia, was "illegitimate."

Turkey will not recognize and will not recognize the annexation of Crimea. We see that the western countries began to forget about the Crimea. If today you forget about Crimea, and tomorrow something happens with Ukraine, then you will be responsible

Now is not the best time to warm up the conflict between Western countries and Russia. It should be the choice of the Crimean people, not the opinion of Cavusoglu

You know, somewhere Erdogan speaks critically to the European Union, but at the same time, they have a desire to move in his direction
The Permanent Representative of Crimea to the President of the Russian Federation, Deputy Head of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Georgy Muradov commented on the situation as follows:
Of course, in Europe, moods in the Crimea are changing. Under these conditions, when the situation of political confrontation and tension from the threat of crisis takes on a more calm and normal course, one should not provoke a negative attitude towards Crimea and Russia. This does not benefit our bilateral relations with Turkey.
Muradov recalled historical facts. As early as 1774 and in 1783, Russia and Turkey signed post-war treaties, during which the Turkish side recognized Crimea as part of Russia.
