Baku – APA. Visa exemption for Turkish citizens needs to come into effect within this month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan said in the opening of the new legislative year of the Turkish Grand National Assembly on Saturday, APA reported citing Daily Sabah.
Critizing the stance of the European Union towards the ongoing humanitarian crisis due to refugee influx, ErdoÄŸan accused the 28-nation-bloc for not keeping its promises on the migrant deal in May.
“Visa exemption for Turkish citizens needs to come into effect within this month. When we look at the statements coming from the union, we see that a vital issue for Turkey like the war on terror is being tried to turn in to precondition for the process. I'm speaking openly, they are not keeping their promises. They can think for themselves," ErdoÄŸan said.
