Jonathan Evans reports.

　　Sergei Tsekov is a member of the Crimean parliament. He supports efforts to join the Russian Federation.

　　We will be happy in one weeks time because we will do what we have been waiting to do for many, many years.

　　Pro-Russia support is strong in Crimea. Alexander Oseev lives in the city of Simferopol. He believes joining with Russia is a good idea.

　　I want for our Crimea to reunite with Russia. The Crimean land is Russia.

　　Crimea has a long history with Russia. The majority of the population is ethnic Russian. However, some people believe the vote will not be fair. The area is under the control of Russian and pro-Russian forces. Earlier this week, Crimeas prime minister swore-in members of the new Crimean Special Forces. They have since joined the pro-Russian self-defense groups. The prime minister says they are needed for increased security before the voting.

　　Russia says none of its forces have left its bases in Crimea. But groups of unidentified vehicles have been seen moving around the peninsula. Many observers believe these vehicles belong to the Russian military.

　　Refat Chubarov is a leader of Crimeas Tatar minority group. He is fearful that the Crimean people are being forced into making a decision.

　　The most cynical thing in history is when people have to make a choice under the gun, when they are afraid about their children, their family.
