One can have different attitude towards the events in Ukraine, but
one thing is clear: what is happening there, has already changed the
reality. And if Russia finally attaches at least the Crimea to itself,
this reality will change even more, Russian political expert, Andrey
Epifantsev, wrote at his Facebook page.
He also added that in that case several current conflict situations
will immediately gain another prospect. "That is to say, if we say
that such expression of will and joining another state is legal and
will become a new precedent, in that case, why does not Karabakh
hold a referendum similar to that in Crimea? And why does not Armenia
take Karabakh within itself? Why does not South Ossetia did the same
and join Russia. But will it agree, if the Akhalgor-Leningrad region
within South Ossetia, populated chiefly by Georgians, will join Georgia
as a result of similar referendum? And the Gali region of Abkhazia
will follow it: the eastern regions of Georgia may join Azerbaijan,
northern Kazakhstan - Russia... What will happen if Turkey starts
delivering its passports to the Crimea Tatars at the places of their
close-together living? Germany in the Kaliningrad region, Estonia
in Pytalov region, Finland - in Karelia...", - Epifantsev wrote. The
expert thinks that one can draw many such images. One thing is clear
that Ukraine is not the last to complete the case, he said.
