“Russia has restricted flights due to the increase in cases of coronavirus in Turkey.
The presidents of the two countries discussed this, and such a decision was made, there is no politics here.
But we have introduced additional restrictions.
If we violate them, we will not achieve the result, then our tourism will be at risk, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying on the Haberturk TV channel.
Cavusoglu noted that a visit to Turkey by a Russian delegation is planned in the near future, which will assess the security in the tourism sector.
“Then we will go with the Minister of Tourism to Russia - but only after the numbers on the coronavirus are lower, now it makes no sense, we will not look convincing.
We need to definitely reduce the numbers during Ramadan, ”the Turkish minister added.
From April 15 to June 1, Russia limited air traffic with Turkey.
Air traffic with Tanzania has also been suspended for this period.
The decision was made in connection with the deterioration of the situation with the coronavirus.
