Turkey, Ukraine to sign visa-free travel agreement
By Trend
Ukraine and Turkey plan to sign an agreement to further simplify travel between the two countries during an upcoming visit by Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman to Ankara, Sputnik International quoted Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as saying.
Earlier this month, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said that the two countries plan to sign an agreement on visa-free travel with internal documents after talks with Cavusoglu. His Turkish counterpart said that Turkey was preparing to accept Ukrainian tourists under new rules as early as this year.
"This is a very important document, given the fact that only 30 percent of Ukrainians have foreign travel passports. The new agreement will allow Turkish resorts to attract a large number of tourists from a range of Ukrainian regions," Cavusoglu said, as quoted by the Anadolu Agency.
Ukrainians currently need their foreign travel documents to enter Turkey, where a visa is stamped on entry. The two countries introduced the simplified rules in 2012.
