SIMFEROPOL, May 12 (Itar-Tass) -- More than 100,000 residents of the Crimea have put their signatures under a call for indefinite presence of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, spokesman for the Crimean committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party Yuri Aksyutin told Tass on Monday.
The signature campaign began on May 2 during a May Day meeting of WWII veterans and representatives of guerrilla movement in the Crimea. "The Communist Party intends to collect around two million signatures in support of the Russian Black Sea fleet being based in Sevastopol eternally," Aksyutin said.
Nevertheless, leaders of the Ukrainian pro-presidential parties have declared that the collection of signatures continuing in the Crimea has "no juridical force."
