The European Commission agreed to start dialogue on Turkish citizen’s visa-free travel to the EU. In return, Turkey Ankara would sign a deal that will allow EU governments to send back illegal immigrants crossing into Europe from Turkey, Euro News reports citing Reuters.
“(The agreement) creates sustainable momentum in our relations that should first of all have the positive impact of putting accession talks back on track”, said EU enlargement commission Stefan Fuele.
