The Liberal Democrat Party of Russia’s (LDPA) State Duma Faction introduced to the Duma’s agenda a statement, whereby the Russian tourists are advised not to go to Turkey for their vacations.

The statement reads that Turkey is a country “with a high risk hazard to the lives, health, and properties of Russian tourists.”  

The authors of this bill recall all the incidents that occurred with the Russian tourists, including those cases that have resulted in tourist deaths in Turkish seashores, Infox informed.

To note, 8 Russian tourists died and 167 vacationers had accidents in Turkey, in the first eight months of this year. 

This notwithstanding, Turkey remains as the most popular holiday destination for Russian tourists.
