Turkey, Ukraine to come to loggerheads over Crimea in some ten yearsFebruary 13, 2009 - 13:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - 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. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
