Turkish citizens may travel visa-free to Europe by 2016

Don't Worry, Infidel, We Come In Peace


Draft conclusions of an EU-Turkey summit stated that the European Union aims to seal a visa liberalization agreement with Turkey in October 2016 instead of the originally planned 2018 if Ankara meets the certain criteria specified in an agreed road map.
In exchange, Turkey will help the EU to reduce the influx of refugees reaching Europe. The draft stated that 3 billion euros will be given to Turkey to stem the flow of refugees from Turkey to Europe. It is also said that the amount might be adjusted later depending on developments.
