There is conflict everywhere. We cannot even go to Egypt,\u201d the worker &#8212; who did not identify himself &#8212; from the Komsomolets coal mine in the city of Leninsk-Kuznetsky in Siberia told Medvedev, who was visiting the region on Monday. \u201cBut there is Turkey, right,\u201d Medvedev responded, suggesting that the country with which Russia has a visa-waiver agreement is a safe destination.<\/p>\n<p>In June alone, some 600,000 Russians visited Turkey. The neighbors agreed to remove visa requirements for each other&#8217;s citizens in March of last year, and visa-free travel began in April.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Culture and Tourism Ministry&#8217;s latest data, the number of foreign visitors to Turkey saw a mild drop in the first six months of the year to just over 12.7 million. In the January-June period, the country with the largest number of visitors to Turkey was Germany. Nearly 2 million people travelled to Turkey from Germany in the six-month period. Germany was followed by Russia with 1.43 million visitors and the UK with just less than a million people visiting Turkey.<\/p>\n<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian Prime Minister Dimitri Medvedev has advised a Russian miner who complained to him about not being able to go on vacation overseas because of security concerns to travel to Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[137,7,7872],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sectoral","category-tourism","category-vacation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4825"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8189,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4825\/revisions\/8189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
