Turkey says to halt EU migrant deal if no date given for visa-free travel

Turkish EU Affairs Minister Omer Celik

Turkey will stop implementing an agreement with the European Union to stem the flow of migrants into the bloc if the EU does not provide a clear date to grant visa-free travel to Turks, EU Affairs Minister Omer Celik in an interview with Turkey's Haberturk television said on Tuesday.
EU's migrant deal with Turkey helped sharply cut the number of refugees and migrants reaching European shores, giving EU politicians breathing space after around 1.3 million people reached the continent last year.
