Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Türkiye, has said that Crimea should return to Ukraine in accordance with international law.
**Source:** Erdoğan, in a video address to the participants of the Crimean Platform Leaders Summit, the text of which is quoted by the Turkish state agency [Anadolu](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/turkish-president-erdogan-reaffirms-support-for-kyiv-calls-for-crimeas-return-to-ukraine/3327489), reports European Pravda
**Details:** Erdoğan noted that the annexation of Crimea, which Türkiye has opposed from the beginning, has further deepened the suffering of Crimean Tatars who were deported from the peninsula 80 years ago.
**Quote from Erdoğan:** “Our support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence is unwavering. The return of Crimea to Ukraine is a requirement of international law.”
He stressed that ensuring the security and well-being of Crimean Tatars is one of the priorities of Türkiye’s foreign policy.
Erdoğan also stressed that Crimean Tatars have the right to live a free, secure and peaceful life in their homeland.
This seems to be somewhat significant to have Turkey acknowledge this regarding Ukraine, would it not be?
Wow I agree with Erdogan
Power move. Turkey doesn’t give a shit about Russia unless it benefits them. And even though they’re in NATO, they don’t give a shit about that and will retaliate militarily on any aggression from Kremlin.
Plus, the gas pipeline in the Black Sea crosses their waters.
This is pretty big, I think calls were made and Turkey will get something in return for their “diplomacy” here.
Well said! Now do Cyprus
International law requires the return of North Cyprus 🇨🇾
I’ll bet Putin didn’t like that.
Okay, so at least we agree on that much.
Let’s see if he tells this to pootler once he shows up in Turkey.
No, sorry, I mean:
Let’s see if he tells this to pootler’s body double once he shows up in Turkey.
It also requires Türkiye getting out of Cyprus.
Brics application got declined or something?
Great, now who’s gonna enforce this?
“We want to join your BRICS.”
“Also, GTFO out of Ukraine.”
Also requires turkey to get out of Syria and Cyprus
Right ? Right…

Does this statement have any real impact? Erdogan is well known for playing both sides. He may be saying this because he wants some concession from Russia or Ukraine. I doubt that this comment will actually shift foreign policy.

so I guess they wouldn’t mind giving Cyprus back the land they’ve been illegally occupying for 50 years?
Someone on [](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/) said it perfectly:
“Turkey is the ultimate wild card.”
Weird, I haven’t seen any flying pigs. Anyone know if hell froze over?
Just a distraction to divert attention away from him attempting to become the dictator of Turkey
Cute coming from someone who is also occupying other county’s territory.
For as much of a jackass Erdogan is 99% of the time, it’s not surprising that he is taking an anti-Russia position. This is pretty much the reason why Turkey remains in NATO despite the massive culture gap.
It might also require Legitimate elections
International law requires return of Northern Cyprus to Cyprus -Rest of the world
Even china doesn’t consider crimea part of Russia, says its Ukraine
Just trying to offset joining BRICS.
I think his stance is a sop to the west while he continues to persecute the Kurds, and his political opponents.
Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
I mean, agreed, but now do north cyprus
They’re still trying to get “Türkiye” to stick, huh?
How did Russia piss them off now? He previously played both sides. Or is the rat just trying to get off a sinking ship?
Hes doing this because he views Cyprus as his, not greek. And he wants Cyprus back one day
Free Kurdistan first please
*cough* Cyprus *cough*
