EU leaders have agreed to accelerate the visa liberalization process for Turkish citizens seeking to visit the 28-nation bloc’s Schengen borderless zone if Turkey manages to reduce the flow of refugees coming into Europe.
EU heads of government gathered in Brussels on Thursday where they also agreed to "re-energize" talks on Turkey’s accession into the bloc.
"The EU and its Member States stand ready to increase cooperation with Turkey and step up their political and financial engagement substantially within the established framework," the European Council said in a statement on Thursday evening.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has described Turkey as playing "a key role" in the refugee crisis, is set to visit the country this weekend.
