Russian opposition politician, presidential contender Grigory Yavlinsky proposed to convene an international conference on the Crimea, after which to organize and hold a referendum in the occupied peninsula.

Only this, he said, will help Russia get rid of the sanctions of the West and achieve official recognition of its borders.

"Russia can not exist without internationally recognized borders. And this problem, like the problem of sanctions, must be solved. A decision in which everyone is interested is the organization and holding in Crimea of ??a legitimate referendum under full international control. This will require the convening, at the initiative of Russia and Ukraine, of an international conference on the Crimea with the participation of all stakeholders. Decisions of the conference will be mandatory for both Moscow and Kiev, "Yavlinsky wrote on his Facebook page.

He recalled that only 10 out of 193 UN member states recognized the Crimea as Russian (Bolivia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, DPRK, Syria, Sudan, Belarus, Armenia, Cuba and Nicaragua).

According to Yavlinsky, the lifting of sanctions will help Russia "crawl out of poverty" "Russia will be able to increase approximately 30% of the pension to all pensioners, 78.7% - the consolidated health budget and the same consolidated budget for education. And you can triple the average salary of all Russian doctors. It's time to stop creeping into poverty. It's time to return to the field of international law and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It's time to correct political mistakes, "the oppositionist summed up..

For a day since the publication of the post, more than 1,500 people. Users of the social network largely responded positively to the initiative of the politician, offering their "amendments".

Many commentators reminded that Crimea is an inalienable part of Ukraine, and a repeated referendum can take place only according to the laws and if Ukraine wishes. Part of Yavlinsky's subscribers agreed that there could be no referendum, as the Russian Federation violated international laws, and therefore "should return the Crimea with payment of compensation".

In the nines broke the ideas of Yavlinsky Russian human rights activist Yevgeny Ikhlov. He said that in fact the oppositionist suggests that Vladimir Putin "rewrite the report" on the detention of the Crimean peninsula "and asks the world community to confirm it with their signatures".

"Yavlinsky's recipe helps to bypass the provision of Ukrainian legislation that referendums in the regions are held only with the sanction of Kiev, and that a referendum on changing the territory of Ukraine is conducted only and exclusively throughout the country. But Yavlinsky, knowing this perfectly well, for some reason does not suggest holding an "honest-honest" all-Ukrainian referendum. Complementing it with, for example, the proposal that the richest people of Erefia said that, in case of agreement with the loss of the peninsula, Ukraine will receive from them as a gift the amount that it grew from the state for the "sanction" in 2016. It's about 100 billion. Dollars. And, of course, to forgive Kiev all debts for gas and credits to Yanukovych, to reduce the price of oil and gas to the Belarusian. Well, and other nishtyaki.

"- recalled Ikhlov.

Moreover, "Ukraine's consent to a" Crimean "conference means recognition of its issue of the status of the peninsula as a bilateral dispute, and not an act of aggression and a violation of international law. Since that moment, the sanctions have been eliminated by themselves, since the injured party itself refuses to accuse it of gross violation of its rights and sovereignty ".
