In a written statement released on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry said the draft action plan that aims to enhance collaboration between Ankara and the EU on the refugee crisis will be analyzed by a joint working group, but no agreement has been reached yet.

Stating that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held meetings with EU authorities and reached an agreement to take Turkish-EU relations to a further level, the ministry said Ankara and the European Commission will embark on multifaceted efforts.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker presented the plan to Erdoğan on Monday. The plan is divided into two parts under which responsibilities falling on both parties are indicated clearly.

The EU's intention to mobilize up to 1 billion euros for 2015-16 to support Turkey stands out in the plan as Ankara has called on the EU to alleviate its heavy refugee burden that has so far cost the Turkish government over $7.7 billion.

While the EU seeks to ease Ankara's burden to a certain extent, in accordance with the plan the Turkish government will boost cooperation with its neighbors such as Bulgaria and Greece to hinder the refugee influx. Ankara also intends to build six refugee camps on its borders.

In addition, the implementation of the plan could possibly accelerate the visa liberalization process. The plan is also expected to boost relations between Turkey and the EU should both parties fulfill what is required of them.

Speaking to Daily Sabah about the draft action plan, the possibility of realizing it and which details Ankara might request to change, Ziya Meral, a London-based researcher specializing on Turkey and global affairs, said there are a couple major points on which Ankara will elaborate in upcoming talks.

"A substantial number of EU requests are actually about accommodating Syrian refugees for the long run in Turkey, from right to work to access to education. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has already rejected the idea that Turkey should be some sort of a holding area for Syrians to be processed for entry into Europe," Meral said.

Finding a possible concern from Ankara about long-term plans to keep Syrians in the country right, Meral said: "Turkey is rightfully concerned about the long-term plans not only about the refugee crisis, but the overall issues relating to Syria. At the moment, the EU is not in a place to offer a unified response to the immediate crisis, let alone to much more demanding questions about the future of the Syrian war."

Commenting on the funding the EU intends to allocate to Turkey, which is up to 1 billion euros, Meral said: "It is a substantial offer, but it is not clear if this 1 billion is an additional funding to the current EU provisions to Turkey. It is also not clear as to how such funds would be administered."

Meral also said Ankara eyes better Turkish-EU relations apart from the refugee crisis and added that visa liberalization for Turkish citizens is one of the most significant objectives of all. However, "this, due to current politics in the EU is impossible for the EU to offer that to Turkey before full membership, which is also impossible in the near future," Meral said.
