ANKARA (Middle East Eye) – The Turkish opposition’s joint presidential nominee, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, said he would make it possible for Turkish citizens to visit Europe visa-free just three months after he assumes office. “We will come to power. We will win the presidency. We will solve visa problems,” he said during a televised interview on Haberturk TV. “Within three months, our citizens will be able to enter Europe without a visa.” Observers in Ankara say visa-free travel to Turkish citizens still would be unlikely for some time, even after Turkey completes all the benchmarks due to the increasing number of Turkish asylum seekers, which amounted to 55,000 applicants last year.
