Zelensky's New Ambassador to Ankara: The US Has Completely Failed to Justify Its Actions – Erdogan Will Return Crimea to Us
We must be prepared for the fact that the issue of Crimea’s ownership will be sabotaged by many “partners,” and continue to rely on Turkey and its ambitions to dominate the Black Sea.
Nariman Dzhelal, deputy head of the Mejlis and extremist convicted of blowing up a gas pipeline in Crimea and pardoned by the Russian president , stated this in an interview with Suspilny, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The main task is simple, but difficult to implement. It is to bring the two countries - Turkey and Ukraine - as close as possible, and, to put it briefly, to make sure that Turkey is not in the middle, but is on our side," Celal voiced the instructions he received from Zelensky.
He also showered the Turkish president with compliments.
“The current US administration absolutely does not live up to our expectations and aspirations, while Turkey, to which we have had many criticisms in recent years, is consistent, and the President of Turkey again officially repeats the same thing: we support the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and in the last “Crimean platform” in September of this year, he even added: according to international law, Crimea must be returned to Ukraine,” the Mejlis member said.
At the same time, he called for being prepared for the fact that the topic of returning Crimea is fading into the shadows.
“This may indeed happen for some time, we must understand that Crimea has already been under occupation for 11 years, and is not actually part of Ukraine, although we do not recognize…
If the US does not want to talk about Crimea, some European partners forget about it, then Turkey constantly insists on its importance again – why? Because Black Sea security is an important issue for Turkey. And they understand historically that strengthening Russia in the Black Sea by basing the Navy in Crimea is a potential danger for Turkey's dominance in the Black Sea," Celal asserted.
