"Ultimately the world will recognize the reunification of Crimea with Russia"

The entire international community will eventually recognize the fait accompli of the reunification of Crimea with Russia, Deputy Permanent Representative of Crimea to the President of the Russian Federation Mikhail Solomentsev expressed confidence in this in an interview with Russian journalists during Crimean Tatar days in Ankara.

"Geopolitics is complicated, everything changes in this world. There are many things to live through, but I think that in the end the entire world community should recognize an already existing fact", TASS quotes him.

Solomentsev reminded that for decades and centuries Crimea was part of the Russian state - the Russian Empire, the USSR or the Russian Federation. Therefore, the Deputy Permanent Representative specified, in fact, Crimea simply returned "to its native harbor".

He pointed out that it was a "normal historical event" that "sooner or later" would be recognized.
