Putin bans imports of certain goods from Turkey
Russian President Vladimir Putin has put his signature under
the decree that envisages bans on or restrictive measures against imports of
certain goods from Turkey in line with the register approved by Russia’s
government, the Kremlin press service said.
Russia suspends imports or "restricts foreign economic
operations envisaging imports to the Russian Federation of certain goods
originating in the Turkish Republic in line with a register determined by the
government of the Russian Federation (exclusive of the goods brought into the Russian
Federation for individual use in the amounts permitted by the laws of Eurasian
Economic Union)," the decree says, reports Tass.
"For purposes of protecting national security and
national interests of the Russian Federation, protection of the citizens of the
Russian Federation from criminal or any other illegal activities," the
decree stipulates bans or restrictions for organisations under Turkey’s
jurisdiction to conduct certain types of activity within Russia in line with
the register drafted by Russia’s government.
The government is instructed to draft registers for relevant
goods and services.
Ban on employment of Turkish nationals
Besides, the decree suspends employment of Turkish nationals
starting from January 1, 2016.
The president ordered to agencies of power, legal entities,
organisations and individuals to proceed from the fact that Russia
"imposes a provisional ban for employers and labour (or services)
customers that are not included in the register determined by the Russian
government to get involved in the labour activities (in providing services)
starting from January 1, 2016 the workers from the Turkish Republic who are not
engaged in labour or civil law relations with the companies or customers
concerned as of December 31, 2015."
The government is instructed to determine a register of the
employers or customers concerned and to "determine a register of contracts
concluded with organisations under jurisdiction of the Turkish Republic for
delivering goods or providing services not subject to special economic
restrictions envisioned in the given decree."
Earlier TASS reported that Deputy Prime Minister Arkady
Dvorkovich was expected to deliver a report on restrictive measures against
Turkey. On Thursday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told the cabinet that
Russia would impose restrictions on Turkey and freeze some joint projects in
response to the attack on Russian Su-24 plane.
Ban on selling on selling tours and related services linked
to visits to Turkey
Besides, Putin has signed a decree that imposes a ban on
selling Russian nationals tours and related services linked to visits to
Turkey.
"I order that travel agencies and tour operators should
refrain from selling to citizens of the Russian Federation the tours and
related services envisioning visits to the Turkish Republic," the
presidential decree says.
The decree titled ‘On measures to ensure national security
of the Russian Federation and protection of citizens of the Russian Federation
from criminal and other illegal activities and on introduction of special
economic measures against the Turkish Republic" is available by TASS.
Russia’s government has been instructed "to adopt
measures stipulating a ban on chartered flight between the Russian Federation
and the Turkish Republic."
On November 24 An F-16 fighter jet from the Turkish Air
Force shot down a Russian Su-24M bomber. Ankara claims the Su-24M bomber
violated the Turkish air space in the area of the border with Syria.
However, Russia’s Defence Ministry has said the Su-24M plane
stayed exclusively over the Syrian territory and "there was no violation
of the Turkish air space."
The crew of the Su-24M bomber managed to eject but one of
the pilots was killed by gunfire from the ground. The second pilot was rescued
and taken to the Russian air base.
