Turkey will cancel agreements on migrants if EU doesn't keep its word, foreign minister says

Turkey will cancel its agreements with the European Union on migrants if the EU doesn't keep its word on the deal, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday, Reuters reports.

Cavusoglu made the comment in parliament in response to opposition criticism over the government's Syria policies, which include the deal with the EU last month designed to stem the influx of Syrian migrants to Europe.

"The deal we struck with the EU is very clear. We want this human tragedy to end, our citizens to travel visa free, and the customs union to be updated," he said in his speech.

"If the EU doesn't keep its word, including the migrants deal we will cancel all agreements."
