Technical teams from Turkey and the European Union will begin discussions on June 2 on visa-free travel, Turkey's new EU minister Ömer Çelik said on June 1, describing it as an integral part of a wider deal on stemming illegal migration.

At a news conference in Brussels broadcast on Turkish television, Çelik said the readmission and resettlement of migrants and visa liberalisation for Turkish citizens were part of a package and could not be handled in isolation.
