webfact Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Turkey row: Russian tourists told to seek new destinationsBy Sarah RainsfordBBC News, MoscowMOSCOW: This week brought the first real snowfall in Moscow, along with the news that yet another winter getaway is off-limits.But Russians have responded with defiance to the ban on holidays to Turkey.Many see the move as appropriate payback for the shooting down of a Russian fighter jet, described by a furious President Vladimir Putin as a "stab in the back".It's the second popular destination to be banned in under a month. Flights to Egypt were halted in early November, following a terror attack on a plane full of Russian tourists.Full story: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34969364-- BBC 2015-12-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverSure Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes, It's always comical to see Russians go shopping with wheelbarrows full of thousand Ruble notes. With the Rubble Ruble having lost about 2/3 of its value, Putin has to keep something in front of his people other than the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I wonder why he just doesn't let the people decide for themselves where they want to holiday. USA also have a long list. There are only a few places where a US passport is not considered valid. The US list is pretty limited. Issuing an travel advisory is different from restricting someone from traveling to a destination. But I am not sure why you bring that up, since this is about Russia not allowing Russians to travel to Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
