The Association of Turkish Banks reported problems with payments with Russia. The problem is partly related to the pressure exerted by the United States on Turkey in connection with sanctions.
Since January 1, Turkish banks began to refuse exporters to accept money transfers from Russia. Earlier, the Turkish bank Ziraat reported that they open accounts for Russians upon fulfilling a number of conditions, including having a residence permit and the right to work. The information has been communicated to member banks,” the statement said.
