Turkish press: "There was no shortage of water in Crimea, and then Russian migrants began to come - the situation worsened"
The Turkish edition of the Daily Sabah published an article by Aishe Betul Bal, which tells about the situation with the water in Crimea. The Turkish observer immediately indicates her position, calling Crimea a peninsula "occupied by Russia since 2014".
The material in the Turkish press is based on alleged conversations with the residents of Crimea.

Submission of information is specific. For example, a Turkish journalist cites the statement of a certain "Alim Umerov" and writes that "he has to travel to different regions of Crimea in search of clean fresh water, which he collects in bottles and loads into a car."

The Turkish journalist, she claims, still asked her interlocutor about his attitude to Ukraine's actions. To this the "correct interlocutor" stated the following:
The thought being promoted is this: “It was the Russians who came to the peninsula who drank all the water of Alim Umerov”. And along the way the thought was promoted: "The blocking of the channel by Ukraine did not play a big role."
The publication in the Turkish press eloquently testifies to the approach that Turkey takes towards Crimea. In such a situation, it would be worthwhile for any major Russian media to interview the residents of Northern Cyprus about how they live after the Turkish occupation of a part of the island ...
