On November 28 - four days after the start of the political crisis between the leaders of the two states - the Turkish Foreign Ministry recommended that his citizens abandon trips to Russia, who are not urgent. The ministry referred to the difficulties that Turkish citizens encountered in Russian territory, as well as when entering it. Following the foreign policy department, the Turkish embassy demanded an explanation from the Russian authorities in connection with complaints that began to enter the diplomatic mission from Turkish citizens living in Russia. “In recent days from different cities of Russia, complaints from Turkish citizens living in Russia to pressure from official bodies began to come to the embassy. Complaints come from businessmen, workers, students and ordinary citizens, ”the statement said.
This official information is also confirmed by Grozny lawyer Murad Musaev, whose legal bureaus over the past two days has received more than 20 appeals from Turkish citizens and ethnic Turks with Russian citizenship in Russia. “Some are pickled for two to three hours at passport control at the airport, interviewed with addiction, for no reason they detained the cargo at customs, for no reason they write out administrative fines, threatening to deport, the fourth simply take and deport, they require the fifths to turn the business and go upside down. I recall the beginning of the 2000s and the Antichen campaign, 2008 and anti-Georgian, 2011 and antitajik, ”the lawyer writes . He characterizes what is happening as a “collective responsibility by national basis”.
Musaev is echoed by his colleague from Moscow Irina Biryukova. The lawyer talks about the fact that the police officers for a “preventive conversation” came to work for the wife of Turkey, a couple of weeks ago, and the next day was called to the department to sign a document on the absence of claims. However, instead of him, not owning a Russian man, a protocol was slipped about a fine of 500 rubles for obscene abuse on the street. According to Biryukova, two more such fines, and a foreigner living in Moscow for more than 20 years, can be deprived of a residence permit, and then expelled from the country.
Judging by the news feeds, the Federal Migration Service is most active in Turkish citizens. Last Thursday, employees of the department detained 39 Turkish entrepreneurs who participated in the International Agro -Industrial Exhibition "Yugagro". As the Kuban GTRK , one of the businessmen, Barysh Khalkan, the delegation of the Turkish company decided to participate in the exhibition in order to establish cooperation with Russian partners. At the entrance, the border guards, having learned that entrepreneurs go to Russia to participate in the exhibition, advised them not to waste time on unnecessary documents and designate themselves in the migration questionnaire as tourists. However, now they all face a fine of two to five thousand rubles and expulsion from the country. The Deputy Head of the Immigration Control of the Federal Migration Service in the Krasnodar Territory, Varten Ter-Sahakyan insists-the detention is not related to the political climate and is only due to the fact that entering the territory of Russia for commercial purposes, for example, for participation in the exhibition, is possible only according to a business visa.
On a similar charges - for violation of visa legislation - last Friday 26 citizens of Turkey in Stavropol were detained. According to the source of the "Portal of the North Caucasus", the decision on expulsion was made on four detainees.
On the same day, the FMS employees came to a construction site in the Moscow metro area Dobryninskaya. According to the source of the publication "Orthodox.ru", the audit turned out to be unusual - the inspectors were not interested in the working construction sites living in households, but by architects and engineers, most of whom have Turkish citizenship. Despite the fact that everyone had a working visa, about 20 Turks were detained. After the visit of employees of the migration service, the construction was simply empty, the source says.
In Pyatigorsk, the FMS raid last weekend was held at the city’s industrial workshops-in one of them, Turkey citizens without business visas sewed socks, which was due to which they were fined and expelled from the country. The plot about this was shot by the Russia-1 television channel, which does not call the number of detainees.
In North Ossetia, 16 Turkey citizens were fined and expelled from Russia - the regional department of the migration department reported this on its website in the release under the heading "during a joint audit conducted by the prosecutor's office and the FMS, Turkish illegal immigrants were identified in the republic."
Information about mass raids against illegal migrants, most of which are Turkey citizens in the last weekend most often appear on the website of the FMS departments in the southern regions of the country. In other regions, representatives of the department report on isolated cases of expulsion of foreigners - for example, in the Vologda region and the Komi Republic .
The FMS does not lag behind the number of inspections in relation to Turkish citizens and other departments. On Friday, a large -scale audit was held at the Sochi Hotel "Magnolia", where mainly Turkish entrepreneurs sell. After it, most outlets did not resume their work, and the hotel building was cordoned off by police officers who checked the cars parked nearby.
Meanwhile, the Public Chamber of the Saratov Region planned for the next week a check of the Turkish Tandorator, popular in the Fastfood network, and QHA, without revealing the details, writes that armed people burst into one of the Turkish cafes in Simferopol, who, threatening the owners, demanded to close the institution. In a similar way, unnamed security forces allegedly entered with the owner of the Turkish cafe in Kerch. The agency does not call the names of the victims, clarifying that they are afraid for their life and business.
Intensified in the fight against Turkish citizens and the FSB. In particular, its employees searched the Turkish madrassas in the Dagestan city of Derbent, during which the operatives allegedly discovered DVDs with “calls for war member of the ISIS International Terrorist Organization and the Imrat Caucasus”. 34-year-old director of the madrassah is in the police.
The most large -scale FSB raid was held at the construction site located in Khimki near Moscow, where the Turkish company MEBE works - 400 people were detained there last Friday, the head of the local public chamber Yevgeny Arsentyv said . According to him, all detainees are checked for involvement in the spread of extremist literature - several prohibited books were discovered at the enterprise, as well as an unknown dark powder, which was sent for examination in the FSKN.
The anti -drug department also supported the anti -Turkish campaign in the Saratov region - the operatives came to the hostel of Saratov State University. After the search for a medical examination, 27 citizens of Turkey were sent. Its results have not yet been reported.
In recent days, Turkey citizens who come to Russia as tourists are also faced with pressure. The reader of the 66.ru portal told the publication that at the Yekaterinburg airport of Koltsovo of her acquaintance and other citizens of Turkey, hurrying to the flight to Istanbul, the border guards were detained when checking documents, and then they began to call each one in a separate room. “When clarifying the purpose of the visit to Russia, the employees, frankly mocking, asked:“ The purpose of your visit is sex tourism? For what purpose do you go here? In which hotel did you stay in Yekaterinburg! Don’t come to Europe or Syria! ”, She claims .
Drivers of trucks with Turkish citizenship trying to drive to Russia through the North Ossetian checkpoint “Upper Lars”, and completely claim that the border guards beat several of them. However, in the FSB their words refute.
