The Russian embargo on Turkish products so far affects only vegetables and fruits. This became known during the meeting of the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Deputy Prime Ministers, the Intkkrfax reports .

The ban on the import of agricultural products from Turkey will enter into force a few weeks later, said Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich on Monday. "We are talking about two main groups. The first is vegetables, including tomatoes and other types of vegetables. And the second is fruits," he said.

Russia will not yet introduce a ban on manufactured goods from Turkey, said First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov. "For industrial products, the proposal is this: for now, at the moment, the nomenclature of industrial products is not included in restrictive measures," he said. At the same time, Shuvalov noted that the Ministry of Industry and Trade will prepare proposals for prohibition of production products.

In addition, from January 1, 2016, Turkish construction companies will have to receive special permits to conclude new contracts in Russian territory. "Under new contracts, it will be necessary to contact the Government with a special permission, according to such facilities and on the lists of employers, the government will have to make an appropriate decision," said Shuvalov.

In turn, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that restrictive measures introduced by the government in relation to Turkey can be expanded.

“Those measures that will currently be included in the draft resolution, this is only the first step,” Medvedev said. “We will see how the events will develop. We have the opportunity within the framework of the powers established by the decree, expand the list of goods that will apply to the Russian Federation to expand the contingents of persons who are proceeding to enter the Russian Federation, and apply other measures aimed at restrictions aimed at restrictions aimed at limiting the restrictions and curtailing cooperation with the Turkish Republic. "

The government decree on sanctions will be published on Monday, Medvedev said.

On November 28, President Vladimir Putin imposed sanctions against Turkey and instructed the government to draw up a list of Turkish goods prohibited for import, as well as organizations and companies that would be deprived of the right to work in Russia.

The presidential decree said that from January 1, Russian employers are forbidden to hire Turkish citizens. At the same time, a visa -free regime with Turkey will be suspended - the exception will be made only for Turks having a residence permit or temporary residence permit.

Tour operators are prohibited from selling trips to Turkey. A ban on charter flights between Russia and Turkey is introduced.

Putin also ordered to strengthen control of Turkish airlines in Russia "in order to ensure security", as well as strengthen control in Russian ports on the Azov and Black Seas. This measure is aimed at "preventing the illegal location and movement of sea and other vessels," the decree said.
