    We will see I guess. Erdogan's rethoric has been so openly hostile, especially against Netherlands and Germany, that tourism might take a nosedive. Early prognoses look very bad at the moment for Turkish tourism at least, people are afraid to go there right now, the tourists who go there don't go there to watch the Haggia Sophia but for beaches and swimming pools. Funny that you mention Russians as that's also a reason don't want to go anymore, not that I have seen it myself and it needs a 'not all Russians are like that', but supposedly it aren't exactly the classy types so to say, Russians are even worse than the Brittish and that's saying a lot
