Turkey, Ukraine to come to loggerheads over Crimea in some ten years
Turkey and Ukraine to come to loggerheads over Crimea in some ten years, a Russian intelligence veteran said.
"Turkey is determined to gain the Crimea back. It's not a secret for Russia, Europe and Ukraine itself. The only question is when," Igor Berkut said. "By 2017 Muslims will make two thirds of the Crimean population. The semi-island risks becoming a second Chechnya."
As long as Turkey exists, it will never accept that the Crimea, a part of the Ottoman Empire, belongs to Ukraine, according to him.
