The European Commission will give conditional approval for Turks to travel without visas to Europe’s passport-free Schengen area, the BBC reports, quoting its sources.

The move is part of a deal in which Turkey is taking back migrants who have crossed over the Aegean Sea to Greece.

But Turkey must still meet EU criteria, and the deal must be approved by the European Parliament and member states.

The EU fears that without a visa deal, Turkey will not control migration.
