Hungary supports acceleration of talks on Turkey's entry into the EU and abolition of visas for that country, said Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

Europe would not be able to cope with the pressure of refugees without Turkey's readiness to accept millions of people, he added.
Hungary is also "urging the EU and Turkey to agree on an action plan to highlight the support and cooperation of Europe in exchange for Turkey's efforts with regard to refugees," said Szijjarto.
