The relations between Moscow and Ankara have deteriorated this week following the shooting down of the Su-24 bomber.
Turkey claims that the Russian airplane had violated Turkish airspace and was warned ten times before being downed by Turkish fighter jets.
Russia maintains that the aircraft stayed exclusively within Syrian airspace and no warnings were issued by Turkey.
The two Russian pilots managed to eject themselves, but one of them was killed midair by gunfire from the ground. The second pilot was rescued and taken to a Russian airbase.
Shortly after the incident, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov advised fellow nationals to refrain from travelling to Turkey, with Ankara responding with a similar recommendation several days later.
Among the other sanctions foreseen by Russia is a suspension of the visa-free travel regime with Turkey starting from the beginning of next year.
