MOSCOW (Sputnik) — During recent months, the supporters of the Leave campaign have been arguing that the United Kingdom would be swamped by Turkish migrants if it continued its EU membership and Turkey joined the block.
"It is not right that the issue of when Turkey will become a member of the EU is used in the Brexit campaign. Turkey has never been a burden on the EU," Cavusoglu told journalist as quoted by the Daily Sabah outlet.
Cavusoglu also noted that Turkey supported the UK membership in the European Union under any circumstances.
On Thursday, the British public will vote in a referendum on whether their country should stay in or leave the European Union. The referendum was scheduled after UK Prime Minister David Cameron and the leaders of the 27 EU member states agreed in February to grant the United Kingdom a special status within the bloc.
