The decree published on the Kremlin&rsquo;s website yesterday came hours after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had voiced regret over the incident, saying his country was "truly saddened" by the event.
The decree includes a ban on some goods and forbids extensions of labor contracts for Turks working in Russia. It doesn&rsquo;t specify what goods are to be banned or give other details, but it also calls for ending chartered flights from Russia to Turkey and for tourism companies to stop selling vacation packages that would include a stay in Turkey.
