President Erdogan: Return of Crimea to Ukraine a Requirement of International Law

Turkey supports Ukraine's territorial integrity and rejects the illegal annexation of Crimea, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday.

"The return of Crimea to Ukraine, of which it is an inseparable part, is essentially a requirement of international law," Erdogan said in a video message to the Second Crimea Platform Summit.

The #Crimea Platform is an international coordination mechanism of #Ukraine to draw more global attention to #Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.
