Russia has announced that it has decided to limit travel to Turkey from April 15 to June 1 due to the increase in the number of coronavirus cases.

Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy stated that Russia's decision to restart flights as of 22 June is an indication of the trust in Turkey for safe tourism. Evaluating the decision via his Twitter account, Minister Ersoy said, "Russia's resumption of flights to our country as of June 22 is an indication of the trust they have in our country in the name of safe tourism. I hope that we will reap the fruits of our diplomatic traffic with other countries in the coming period, as with Russia."
