The reason for the ban is Russia’s actions in connection with the fire in the Moscow concert hall.
Tajik foreign minister Sirodjidin Muhriddin urged the country’s citizens not to travel to Russia temporarily, reports news agency Reuters. According to Muhriddin, traveling should be avoided if there is no absolutely compelling reason to do so.
