MOSCOW, November 27. /TASS/. Russia has decided to suspend the visa-free
regime with Turkey from the beginning of 2016, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov said on Friday after meeting with his Syrian counterpart Walid Muallem
in Moscow.
"Russia’s leadership has taken a decision to suspend the visa-free
regime between Russia and Turkey. This decision will come into force from
January 1," Lavrov said.
Lavrov reiterated that Russia has been concerned about the growing
terrorist threats coming from Turkey. "This is directly linked with the
security of Russia and our citizens."
"There is a well-run traffic of gunmen via Turkey in various
directions," he said, adding that Turkey has been reluctant to tell Russia
about the cooperation in this issue.
"These are not farfetched threats, these are quite real
threats," Lavrov stressed.
