Foreign Minister of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu issued an ultimatum to the EU, stating: if the citizens of his country will not be granted a visa-free regime, Ankara cancels the agreement on the admission of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa who invaded Europe.
The head of the Turkish foreign Ministry said on Sunday, July 31, in an interview with German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Cavusoglu called extreme date of the abolition of visas in mid-October of the current year, says news Agency AP.
In the framework of the concluded in the spring of this year of the agreement, the EU will return to Turkey of illegal migrants arriving into Greece through the Aegean sea – according to the agreement between Brussels and Ankara. In response, the EU agreed legally to make Turkey Syrian refugees, and to ensure the needs of migrants in the Turkish territory to allocate up to 6 billion euros.
Integral part of the agreement between Brussels and Ankara has become a visa-free regime with Turkey, which will be implemented by July 2016, for which the Turkish authorities had to perform 72 the conditions set before them by the European Commission.
However, European politicians have repeatedly stated that these requirements are still not met, and the abolition of visas is not possible.
In particular, the EU seeks to change the Turkish law against terrorism, as in the current version it can be used against the opposition and critical of the government journalists.
