Russian athletes will participate in tournaments organised in Turkey, with maximum security ensured, RIA news agency cited sports minister Vitaly Mutko as saying on Sunday.

Mutko said that the measures that Russia is taking against Turkey will not impact the calendar of international sports federations.
