  2. Turkey supports Crimea being part of Ukraine, because of the Tatars who are closely related to Turks. Most Tatars want Crimea to be Ukrainian.

  3. Turkiye’s crimea stand is almost same last 10 years. Turkey is just not economically strong enough to cut ties with russia and can’t trust westerns so acts likes a neutral country.

  4. Erdogan is *the one guy* Putin doesn’t mess with… he knows Erdogan could make all of Russia’s Turkic regions completely ungovernable overnight.

  6. I never thought I would say it but I agree with Turkey

  7. They claim to be defending the integrity of Ukraine 🇺🇦, but Turkey is still occupying part of Cyprus. What hypocrisy! …

  8. **No: 55, 16 March 2025, Regarding the Eleventh Anniversary of the Illegal Annexation of Crimea**

    On the anniversary of the annexation of Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea by the Russian Federation through an illegitimate referendum eleven years ago today (16 March), we reiterate that Türkiye does not recognize the de facto situation in Crimea, which constitutes a violation of international law, and that we support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.

    We will continue to closely monitor developments in Crimea, particularly the situation of the Crimean Tatar Turks, the indigenous people of the peninsula, and we will keep them on the agenda of the international community.

  10. If Turkey doesn’t like it it’ll have to deal with Russia, North Korea, Iran and US of A!

  11. If Putin gave up Crimea he’d be thrown out a window by the Russian people. Every Tsar who lost territory also lost his throne or his life
