Kiev threatened with loss of Crimea-based oil giant | beyondbrics:
"The authorities in Kiev are not only in danger of losing control of the political and military situation in the Crimea; they may also lose the major state-owned companies based on the peninsula.
On Wednesday, Rustam Temurgaliyev, Crimean deputy prime minister, told Interfax that the Crimean authorities are planning to take over state-owned giant, Chornomornaftogaz, which implements offshore oil and gas projects in the Black Sea and Azov Sea, “in the near future”.
Termurgaliyev’s comment follows similar remarks by Sergei Aksyonov, the pro-Moscow Crimean prime-minister, who said earlier this week that “all state-owned enterprises that are associated with energy resources will be owned by the autonomy”.
According to Aksyonov, all such companies should come under the control of the local parliament. “This will affect businesses in the energy sector and companies associated with mining. [The Crimea’s] energy and mineral resources belong to the people of the autonomy,” Aksyonov told the Russian state-controlled news agency RIA Novosti."
