In Ankara, it is believed that the sanctions introduced by Putin will even more spoil the relationship between states, Reuters reports with reference to a senior Turkish official. “Sanctions like these are harmful to relations. These steps do not solve anything, only exacerbate the problem,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

The departure of Turkish companies from Russia will not be painful for the country, officials assure

According to the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Maxim Topilin, in December the government will prepare a list of employers who can continue to hire Turkey citizens. These will be those companies that have incomplete contracts for the construction of large facilities, for example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tatarstan, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Perm Territory, and Volgograd Region. He also added that the vast majority of Turkish workers involved in Russia are busy in construction.

Mikhail Tarasenko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor and Social Policy, noted that the ban on hiring Turkish workers will not have a negative impact on the Russian market. “We all are not very pleased with this to us, but you need to pay for everything, including for aggravation of relations with Russia,” he said in an interview with the Russian News Service .

In the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, they also do not see problems in the outflow of workers from Turkey. “The outflow of Turkish workers will not affect the terms of input and the cost of facilities. Russian specialists today are no less professionally cope with all types of construction work,” said the head of the department, Mikhail Men, TASS.
