Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu still believes visa-free travel can begin in June 2016 | Carl Court/Getty Images Ahmet Davutoğlu: EU must offer Turks visa-free travel or risk migrant deal Turkish PM says without visa liberalization Turkey won’t stick to its side of the bargain.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said Monday that Turkey will not meet its commitments under the migrant deal with the European Union if the EU does not stick to its visa-free travel promise.

"This is a mutual commitment. If the EU cannot take the necessary steps required of it then of course it cannot be expected of Turkey to take these steps," Davutoğlu told reporters at Ankara airport before heading to Strasbourg, AFP reported.

Turkey will receive financial aid and visa-free travel to Europe for its citizens in exchange for taking in deported migrants who enter Europe through Greece under a deal agreed in March that aimed to reduce the flow of migrants.

Davutoğlu said that he still believes visa-free travel can begin in June 2016 as promised under the agreement, and added that without it “no-one can expect Turkey to adhere to its commitments.”

"Turkey is a serious interlocutor. It does what is has promised and will allow no concessions on what it has been promised," he said.

Davutoğlu's comments echo those of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan who said earlier this month that Turkey will not meet its commitments if the EU doesn’t honor the agreement.

The European Parliament last week said that there is a need for "urgent reforms" in Turkey. The Parliament's rapporteur Kati Piri said that Turkey will need to implement reforms before the visa liberalization could be granted.

"I don't think it's realistic to say Turkey will manage to pass all this legislation in a month's time if it hasn't done so in the last two years," Piri said.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Council President Donald Tusk are scheduled to travel Turkey on April 23.
