Turkey won’t recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea

Turkey on Tuesday again underscored that it does not recognize Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea.
“Turkey maintains its support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and does not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea,” said Tanju Bilgiç, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Accordingly, the results, in so far as they relate to Crimea, of the Russian State Duma elections, held on 17-19 September 2021 also in Crimea, do not have legal validity for Turkey,” Bilgiç added. (ILKHA)
