Mikhail Sheremet, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the Crimean region, believes that Turkey with its anti-Crimean statements shows that it is an unreliable ally for Russia.
Earlier, Erdogan said that Ankara does not recognize Crimea as a Russian region and intends to support the Crimean Tatars together with Ukraine.
“Recently Turkey, unfortunately, has shown itself to be an unreliable ally, taking an openly unfriendly position towards Russia and Russian Crimea. It is not for nothing that there is a monument to Emperor Alexander III in Crimea, who said that Russia has two allies: its army and navy”, – Sheremet said.
