Turkish Foreign Ministry diplomats and tourism managers are lobbying and consulting with Russian officials.
They hope Putin's government will persuade its citizens to travel abroad so that Turkish hotels are not empty.
In recent years, with the expansion of Ankara-Moscow cooperation in the fields of defense, nuclear energy, trade, oil and gas, the number of Russian tourists entering Turkey has also increased significantly.
An average of 7 million tourists from Russia travel to Turkey each year, contributing to the development of the tourism industry.
