Turkish citizens should be allowed to travel visa-free into the EU once Turkey meets the requirements. It is simply not acceptable to apply different standards to different countries based on what religion its people practice or on who its neighbors are. Let's not forget that Turkey has applied for EU membership forty years ago and has made considerable progress towards joining the EU. Even if the prospects of Turkey becoming an official member state are a long way off Turkish citizens should be allowed to travel to the EU visa free once Turkey fulfills all the requirements. From a local perspective, having thousands of Turks traveling to the EU through the Balkans would present a great business opportunity for local businesses and would strengthen the economic interactions between Turkey and the Balkans which would benefit both Turkey and the Balkan countries. The Ottoman empire ended more then a century ago and the situation both in Turkey and the Balkans today is completely different from what it was a century ago. Let us focus on the present and the future and not be handicapped by the past.
