The Turkish authorities refused to restore access to banking cards of the Russian payment system " Negotiations lasted about a year.

About this, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Ankara Alexei Yerkhov said Rossmi. He noted that after the failure of negotiations in the Russian Federation, they no longer have hopes for the resumption of cards..

Problems in the calculations with Turkey arose for citizens of the Russian Federation a year ago - shortly after the United States imposed sanctions, threatening banks around the world with a disconnection of the world dollar system for transactions with the Russian military -industrial complex.

As a result, in February, the “Mira” operator, the national system of payment cards, fell under the restrictions, after which the countries, which the Kremlin calls “friendly”, began to refuse to use.

In February last year, Russian diplomats began negotiations with Turkey. Their promises of “carry out work” and “protect participants in foreign economic activity” not only did not give results, but the problems only aggravated: in September, almost all Turkish banks, including state -owned ones, refused to serve transactions related to Russia and Belarus. Earlier, in August, the largest Turkish State Bank Ziraat stopped surgery in Russian rubles.
