The aggravation of Russian-Turkish relations occurred after the Turkish fighter shot down the Russian Su-24 bomber on the Syrian-Turkish border on November 24. Vladimir Putin called this incident "a blow to the back from the accomplices of terrorists." A few days later, the president signed a decree on the introduction of economic sanctions against Turkey. The document also suggested a ban on the employment of Turkish workers with Russian companies.

Turkey did not introduce restrictions on Russian citizens. "We will not escalate tension, - said the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu." The Russian people for our people - friend. Antalya became the second house for many Russians, we are waiting for Russian tourists. "
