Oh yes THAT referendum. You know the one where 96.7% of the voters under an illegal military occupation decided they want to be a part of Russia. Such astonishing results reminds me of Presidential elections held in Syria, North Korea and Iraq under Saddam and other similary free human rights loving democracies. There is no way it could have been a fraud ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXG67YJVZuQ ), especially when it had the backing of Russia which is a country where the the rule of law prevails, society is open, dissent is tolerated and the media is free. I'm certain Crimean Tartars (and Ukrainians) wanted Crimea to be a part of Russia all along given their wonderful history with them, after all the Mejlis of Crimean Tartar didn't boycott the referendum (http://en.ria.ru/world/20140307/188153844/Crimean-Tatar-Minority-to-Boycott-Secession-Vote.html) and the EODE who helped monitor the results said it was a free and fair voting process ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Observatory_for_Democracy_%26_Elections ). Oh just thought I'd mention Putin hates fascists which is why the EODE helped to monitor the referendum (unlike OSCE & the UN who didn't send any observers...I wonder why?). Yep Chechans love Putin, he only lauched a devasting war against them thats all. Again 90% + for Putin is very believable, the elections again were free and fair, no fraud, nothing of the sort took place http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/21/us-russia-chechnya-elections-idUSTRE7BK1CA20111221 . In fact he's so popular some even voted for him more than once http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/world/europe/fraudulent-votes-for-putin-abound-in-chechnya.html?_r=1. FACEPALM. |
In another words you don't have anything to counter the facts of said referendum and elections that has been witnessed and confirmed by multiple international observers aside from your opinion based on journalistic publications supported by what exactly? Do you want me to google a bunch of journalisitc publications with drastically different stance on the referendum and that'd pass for an argument?
//On your video, the girl said it herself that she is registered in Simferopol = she has a legal right to vote. What are you suggesting here?
