All Russian tourists who were in Turkey as part of groups left the country, TASS reports.

The Federal Air Transport Agency noted that independent tourists are still in the country, their evacuation will continue over the next month.

The evacuation program started two weeks ago, during which time more than 73,000 people were delivered to their homeland. It is planned that this number will increase by more than 20,000 in May.

Russian air carriers have made almost 280 flights, they carried more than 63,000 passengers. The rest of the tourists flew to Russia with Turkish airlines.

Moscow resumed restrictions on flights to Turkey and Tanzania two weeks ago. The reason for this decision was the worsening epidemiological situation in foreign countries. Both regular and charter flights are discontinued. The decision will be valid until the beginning of summer.

All Russians were taken out of Tanzania after air traffic with this country was suspended. Russian air carriers have returned home from this country more than 4,000 people.
