The article “Tuerkei will mit Merkel ueber Visa reden” (“Turkey wants to talk with Chancellor Merkel about visa”) addresses the issue of visa-free travel into the EU.
Turkish citizens are dissatisfied by the fact that they still have to apply for a visa to travel to EU countries, even though Turkey has applied to become an EU-member. Citizens of, for example, Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia, don’t have to apply for a visa to travel into and out of the EU, even though these countries have not applied to become EU-members.
Many Europeans fear that visa-free travel will lead to an uncontrollable rush of Anatolian masses into the EU. However, visa exemption would be an important step in bettering Turkish-European relations.
This visa topic will undoubtedly be raised on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s visit to Turkey on March 29th and 30th.
