Member of the British Parliament: “Crimea is a historical part of Russia”

The politician believes that the recognition of the Crimea would be “a very friendly solution.”

A member of the house of lords of the British Parliament, the representative of the Conservative party Richard Belf said in an interview with Izvestia that Russia has fulfilled the desire of the inhabitants of the Crimea, returning the Peninsula itself.

“Almost ten years ago, the residents said you wanted to be a part of the Russian state. After some time Moscow realized the desire and returned back to Crimea. And although the Peninsula is still there are opponents to the return of the Crimea, the prevailing majority still consider themselves citizens of Russia,” said Belf.

The politician believes that the recognition of the Crimea would be “a very friendly solution,” however, it is necessary to look at the interests of his country. In his opinion in the next few years after Brexit, the UK will adhere to the General policy of the European Union in the Crimea.

He also noted that anti-Russian sanctions should be relaxed so as for the EU it is not profitable.
