  The Crimean War: immediate causes
lthough the long term causes of the Crimean War probably were more crucial, the immediate causes of the war — ostensibly, at least — were over religion, particularly over the protectorship of the Holy Places in Jerusalem.
Russian demands led to fears in the Porte that Turkish independence was being threatened; as ever, the Sultan appealed to the Great Powers of Europe for protection against Russian encroachments.
Because of Britain's long-standing policy of maintaining the integrity of the Turkish Empire, Stratford had access to the Sultan and encouraged him to refuse the Czar's demands.

 Turco-Ukrainian Relations and the Crimean Tatars
Turkish diplomacy, by forcing the limits of its time-honored cautious, if not utterly vague, style in similar issues, expressed its unequivocal support for the inviolability of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and in this case, that the Crimean peninsula belonged and should continue to belong to Ukraine and not to any other state (i.e., Russia).
Throughout the consecutive crisis and tension in the Crimea since 1991, stemming from the efforts of Russian separatism, the Crimean Tatars proved to be the sole organized and substantial local force in the Crimea who have been determined to defend that the peninsula belonged to the Republic of Ukraine.
The great deal of attention which the plight of the Crimean Tatars has attracted on the part of both the Turkish public and government was noted by the Ukrainian leadership, which has taken pains to demonstrate its support for the return of the Crimean Tatars to their homeland and their reintegration into local life.
