Joking aside, I think Russia should react in a peaceful way. Just end any gas dealings with the Turks, put embargo on Turkish products in Russia and end direct flights of commercial aircraft from Russia to Turkey. The effects on Turkey will be us bad as if they were hit by a nuke.
I got everything right apart from the gas but as Medvedev said the list could be broadened
The resolution, signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, bans from Jan. 1 imports of foodstuffs, including poultry meat, a variety of fresh, frozen and dried fruit and vegetables, as well as cloves and table salt.
The resolution suspends activities of the Russian-Turkish Intergovernmental Commission for Trade and Economic Cooperation as well as all mutual trade and investments negotiations.
The resolution cuts the number of annual licenses for 2016 granted to Turkish cargo transporters by road to 2,000 with a prospect of cancelling them altogether.
Meanwhile, according to the resolution, Turkish citizens without a labor contract or a civil contract signed before Dec. 31, 2015 won't be allowed to work on the territory of Russia from Jan. 1, 2016.
Bilateral agreement on visa-free travel is suspended, together with charter flights between the two countries except those meant to repatriate Russian tourists from Turkey.
Also on Tuesday, Russia's Tour Operators Association said it had stopped selling tours to Turkey indefinitely, while the Ministry of Education and Science said it was curtailing cooperation with Turkey's universities and planned shortly to repatriate all Russian students in the near future.
The detailed sanctions came after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday signed a decree on economic sanctions against Turkey.
Medvedev said Monday the sanctions list could be broadened in case of necessity.
