The Russian agricultural watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor says it has received assurances from Iran that the country would take all measures possible to prevent “banned Turkish products disguised as Iranian goods” from entering the Russian market. The downing of Russia’s Su-24 frontline bomber over Syria by a Turkish jet on November 24 damaged relations between Moscow and Ankara, Russian news agency Sputnik reported. In the wake of the incident, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on a set of economic measures against Ankara, including a ban on Turkish food imports, which came into force on January 1.
