Crimean Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Konstantynov has described as misleading reports in some media that it is planned to take radical decisions at an extraordinary plenary meeting of parliament, even as far as Crimea's secession from Ukraine, the press center of the Crimean Supreme Council reported on Wednesday.

"The Crimean parliament is not raising the question of Crimea's secession from Ukraine. This is a provocation aimed at discrediting the autonomy's Supreme Council and depriving it of its legitimacy. Unfortunately, this provocation was organized and supported by the Makiyivka team in the Crimean government, which, for the sake of keeping power, is ready to sacrifice social and political stability on the peninsula. This is a strange land for them," he said.

"Residents of Crimea! Compatriots! Crimea is our common home! Peace at home is in our hands! Do not yield to provocations! In this situation, keep calm and be prudent in your actions," Konstantynov said.
