According to the updated list, Turkish companies won’t be able to export vegetables, fruits, meat and flowers to Russia, construct buildings, and work in architecture and design in Russia. The ban also prohibits Turks working in the travel and hotel business. Turkish companies won’t get Russia state and municipal contracts and won’t be able to participate in forestry and timber processing. The Russian Ministry of Trade and Industry said that Turkish goods in Russia will be replaced with those from Egypt and other countries. Starting January 1, 2016, the visa-free regime for Turkish citizens holding ordinary passports will be suspended. Moreover, Russian employers will not be allowed to hire any more Turkish nationals. The deterioration in relations between Russia and Turkey was prompted by the downing of a Russian Su-24 jet by a Turkish F-16 fighter near the Syrian border in November.
