@Disturbedfan - Of course history matters, Russia has a lot more rights to Crimea than Ukraine ever will. Turkey has no right to Crimea whatsoever they never even fully annexed it, let alone assimilated, Crimea is only Ukrainian very recently, never did they even claim it before. Even if you ignore history, Crimea still has a Russian majourity and heritage.

@Batran - The point is that it should have never been Ukraine in the first place and there is no reason for the people to move back either. That's why I want an honest referendum which will decide the future of crimea, unlike the recent referendum which is dubbed a fraud.
