The so-called head of the committee on people’s diplomacy and interethnic relations of the parliament of the occupied Crimea, Yuri Gempel, said that by taking part in the Crimean platform, Turkey could lose an ally in the face of Russia, as well as Russian tourists. This was reported by the RIA News media agency.
“If Turkey actually joins the so-called Kyiv project Crimean Platform, which is essentially an anti-Crimean alliance hostile to the Crimeans, it will commit a serious strategic mistake”,- he said.
Gempel noted that Turkey “may lose a reliable ally in the face of Russia, as well as Russian tourists.”
