Russian teams told they can no longer sign Turkish players.
Quote:
Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko told R-Sport news agency that clubs had "already got the message".
"If anyone wants [to sign a Turkish player] during the break, there will not be such a possibility," he said.
Mutko said the sports sanctions would not affect Turkish players currently playing for Russian soccer clubs, such as Rubin Kazan's midfielder Gokdeniz Karadeniz, who joined the Tatarstan outfit in 2008.
"Everyone who has an existing contract will carry on working," Mutko said.
"They won't be here in the future but at the moment they have contracts and these will not be looked into."

Political interference in football is not allowed, correct? Be interesting how FIFA responds to this.
