A delegation of Italian lawmakers is planning to visit Crimea, Alexei Pushkov, the Foreign Affairs Committee chairman in the lower house of the Russian parliament, said on Saturday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier this month, Italian lawmaker Stefano Valdegamberi told Sputnik that a delegation of lawmakers from northern Italian councils would visit Crimea in the fall in a bid to promote closer ties between the cities in Italy and the peninsula.

"Following the French, Italian lawmakers are planning to visit Crimea. The West will be unable to keep Crimea isolated: the people who live there are part of Europe," Pushkov said via Twitter.

In late June, an 11-member French parliamentary delegation paid a three-day visit to Crimea. Following the lawmakers' visit to Simferopol, Sevastopol and Yalta, the delegation arrived in Moscow.

Crimea reunified with Russia after over 96 percent of the local population supported the move in a 2014 referendum.

In total, over 60 delegations from dozens of countries have so far visited Crimea this year, including those from Italy, France, Jordan and many other nations.
