Glavred Russian radio "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov supported the idea of ??an applicant for the post of President of the Russian Federation Grigory Yavlinsky on an international conference in the occupied Crimea.

This statement was made in response to an appropriate question on the air from a resident of the Rostov region, writes Echo of Moscow.

"Rather yes (support. - Red. ) Than not, because we live in a reality in which this node must be unraveled. And if we are sure and you are sure that the inhabitants of the Crimea wanted to be in the Russian Federation on March 1, 14, this is the "referendum" that I did not personally convince me personally. He was held deceitfully and hypocritically. So if the international conference, the new referendum with the consent of Ukraine and Russia - what Grigory Alexeyevich says - if possible, which I doubt at this stage, I would support it, "said Venediktov.

He stressed that it is most likely impossible to hold such a conference.

"First, Russia will not agree. As Vladimir Vladimirovich says, the issue on the Crimea is closed.

Secondly, Ukraine will not agree, because according to the Constitution of Ukraine the referendum on the separation of any region under the law of Ukraine should be an all-Ukrainian referendum, and not just one area. Therefore for today it is a stupor. Well, let's live in a stupor. What can we say about this? "He added..

Recall, Venediktov is a close friend of the press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov.

As reported by the "Observer", the Russian Federation proposed a solution to the issue of Crimea.
