MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Mogherini was speaking after a high-level meeting with Turkey’s Minister for EU Affairs Omer Celik. She reaffirmed that the European Union and each member state considered the Kurdish militia PKK a terrorist organization.
"We believe all violence and terrorist attacks have to stop and arms [to be] laid down and a political process [to be] started, and the European Union, obviously, would be ready to accompany this process," Mogherini said at a press briefing.
The EU will continue talks with Turkey on moving toward a visa-free regime between the country and the bloc and the customs union, she said.
"We decided that our work will go on in all fields in a very constructive way on visa liberalization, on the upgrade of customs union, and including also on our support to Turkey in its effort in welcoming a huge number of Syrian refugees, and in particular focusing on the education of children," Mogherini told journalists.
