Erdogan: No EU readmission deal without visa freedom

Turkey's president said Tuesday there would be no readmission agreement with the European Union unless talks on visa freedom for Turks are "fruitful", Trend cites Anadolu.

Speaking at the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: "If these [talks] are fruitful, it's good, [but] if not, then what will happen is that a step will have to be taken at the Turkish parliament and the law regarding the readmission agreement will not be carried out."
