The coup attempt in Turkey may have also affected the planned visa-free travel of Turks into the European Union. EU Commissioner Günther Oettinger told German media not to expect Turks this year all visa-free travel to the EU.
The EU and Turkey spoke earlier that the country takes back boat people. In return the EU visa-free in the long term to Turks would be allowed to travel, provided that the country meets all the conditions. Oettinger don't expect green light before the end of the year is given for the removal of the visa obligation.
Concern was expressed about the hard sound within the EU action by the Turkish authorities after the failed coup. According to the EU Commissioner, it seems currently out that president Recep Tayyip Erdogan intends the concerns about the functioning of the Turkish rule of law.
The EU earlier called on to ' a quick return to the constitutional order in Turkey ' after the failed coup. The EU also warned the country about the maintenance of the rule of law. Reintroduction of the death penalty, something the Turkish people according to Prime Minister Erdogan wants to, according to Brussels means the end of negotiations on Turkish membership of the EU.
