MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Sunday (Aug 28) lifted its ban on charter flights to Turkey, the government said on its website.
Russia banned charter flights to Turkey, which was a popular holiday destination for Russians, after the shooting down of a Russian air force jet by Turkey's military last November.
