QA-34, 23 September 2016

Turkey continues to support the territorial integrity of Ukraine including Crimea.

The elections that were held last weekend in Russian Federation are also considered from this perspective. In this respect, the outcome of the elections in Crimea has no legal validity in our opinion.
