Turkey criticizes exclusion from EU list of safe travelers
The European Union's list of countries it will allow visitors from did not include Turkey.
Turkey says it is “disappointed” it did not make the cut for countries whose citizens are allowed to visit Europe this summer starting Wednesday.
The European Union unveiled a list of countries this week from which it will allow tourists as the zone tries to boost its economy amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Turkey, as well as the United States and Russia, notably did not make the list of 14 countries deemed to have low enough coronavirus numbers to warrant nonessential travel.
