'Ukraine should be persistent to take back Crimea'
2017-02-26
[AA.TR] Chairman of the Crimean Tatar Parliament, or Mejlis, Refat Chubarov said on Saturday that Ukraine "should be firm and persistent" to take back Crimea.

Giving a speech at a conference themed "Crimea under occupation: Consequences for Ukraine and the world", Chubarov -- as quoted by Ukraine's official news agency Ukrinform -- Crimea "should be returned to Ukraine primarily, by diplomatic, political, and economic means."

"However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
Ukraine should incite our partners to implement such strategy to make it successful," Chubarov said.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's ambassador to Kiev, Yonet Can Tezel also participated in the conference, saying Turkey continues its stance to support Ukraine's territorial integrity.

"Turkey will continue to support Crimean Tatars, who are people of Crimea," said envoy Tezel.

Kiev hosts the two-day international forum on Feb. 25-26.

February 26-27 mark the third anniversary of the seizure of Crimea's regional parliament and Simferopol's airport by gunnies, believed to be Russian special forces, which was followed by Moscow's unilateral annexation of the Crimean peninsula.
