The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Tuesday dismissed allegations that the country's electronic visa application program has facilitated illegal migration to Europe.

"All measures necessary for security have been taken and our country has had no problem with visitors who traveled to Turkey with an e-visa," said the ministry.
