Turkey is going to tighten checks on goods being transported from Russia. The retaliatory move follows similar measures against cargoes from Turkey introduced by Moscow around the time of the Russian invasion of Georgia.The stringent checks on the Russian side of the border have led to long queues, especially for lorries. The original Russian measures were seen as punishment for Turkey’s allowing United States ships into the Black Sea.
