The Russian prime minister added that special measures against Turkey would be "a matter of high sensitivity for the Turkish side," but would not harm the economic interests of Russia, Sputnik reported.
“The measures that are currently included in the decree project are just the first step. We’ll see how it goes. We have the ability within our powers of creating orders to expand the list of goods that can be banned from being imported into the Russian Federation, extend the list of officials who are banned from entering the Russian Federation, and take other measures directed at limiting or ending cooperation with the Turkish Republic. This will all be done if necessary,” Medvedev said.
"Unfortunately, the Turkish leaders are holding a very strange position. It has just been reported that the Turkish premier hopes that Russia will revise its response measures over the incident with the downed plane. And, at the same time, he has said that Turkey will never apologize for this incident. Comments are needleless," Medvedev said.
“The special measures will actually touch a large part of economic relations, so we will act pragmatically as was understood from the president’s decree, in particular: so that decisions that we make are felt to the maximum for the Turkish side and touch minimally our economic interests,” Medvedev stated.
According to the prime minister, the list of Russia’s limitation measures against Turkey may be expanded if necessary.
