“Turkey continues to support the territorial integrity of Ukraine including Crimea,” said Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Tanju BilgiƧ in response to a question regarding the Russian Federation Duma elections in Crimea.

“The elections that were held last weekend in the Russian Federation are considered from this perspective. In our opinion, the elections in Crimea have no legal validity,” BilgiƧ added.
