Anniken Huitfeldt, announced last week that Norwegian citizens would be allowed to enter Turkey for six months without a passport due to a shortage of the chips required for new passports in Norway.
In the replies below Huitfeldt’s tweet of the announcement, the frustration of Turkish citizens was easy to see.
Most of them were complaining about the difficulty for Turks in obtaining a Schengen visa, a system that allows free movement within 26 European countries and which Norway is a part of despite not being a member of the European Union.
A number of Turks highlighted the clear imbalance between Turkey and Norway's visa policies in relation to each other.
