The decree, posted
on the Kremlin's web site, said a ban on charter flights from Russia to Turkey
would be introduced, that Russian tour operators should stop selling trips to Turkey , and
that imports of some Turkish products would be halted.
It also said the
operations of Turkish companies in Russia and the employment of
Turkish staff by Russian firms would face restrictions and ordered the
government to prepare a list of goods, firms and jobs that would be affected.
The decree, which
came into force immediately, was entitled "On measures to ensure Russia 's national security and protect Russian
citizens from criminal and other illegal activities, and the application of
special economic measures against Turkey ."
Some of the
measures announced had already been informally introduced.
Putin signed the
decree days before a climate change summit in Paris
next week, which Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said earlier on Saturday
could be a chance to repair relations with Moscow .
