Some issues agreed in a telephone conversation between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are being resolved.

Turizmplus.az reports with reference to Turkish media that additional flights have been agreed to allow Russian tourists to come to Turkey.

In addition, it was learned that a new money card system called "Rebit Card" is being worked on for Russian tourists who cannot use "Visa" and "Mastercard" payment methods due to the sanctions of the EU and Western countries due to the war. Russian tourists will be able to make payments in Turkey with the program they will install on their phones.

It should be noted that in some periods the "MIR" card system was used as an alternative to "Visa" and "Mastercard", but Turkish banks stopped using this payment method due to the threat of EU and Western sanctions.
