Istanbul, Sha'ban 17, 1437, May 24, 2016, SPA -- Turkey's parliament will reject a deal made with the EU to take back migrants if Turkish citizens are not granted visa-free access to Europe, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, dpa reported. "If the talks are fruitful, good. If not, then a step will have to be taken at the Turkish parliament, and the law regarding the implementation of the readmission agreement will not be ratified," Erdogan said in Istanbul. Ankara has agreed to take back migrants who used its territory as a springboard for reaching Europe via people-smuggling sea routes in exchange for the visa deal. -- SPA 20:33 LOCAL TIME 17:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
