On November 28, 2015, Russia imposed trade sanctions on Turkey in response to the downing of a Russian fighter jet a few days earlier. According to a news report, Russian Prime Minister Medvedev stated “that the focus of the sanctions would be on ‘introducing limits or bans’ on Turkish economic interests in Russia, in addition to a ‘limitation of the supply of products.’” The Executive Order signed by President Putin forbids extension of employment contracts for Turks working in Russia after January 1, 2016 and prohibits the sale of vacation packages for stays in Turkey as well as charter flights from Russia to Turkey. The order also includes provisions ending the visa-free travel between the two countries and calls for increased security measures for Turkish trucking companies and at ports in the Azov-Black Sea area. According to this news report, Russia will halt joint investment projects with Turkey and cancel negotiations for a preferential trade agreement.
