[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

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