BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Easing EU fears, Turkey’s European affairs minister said Saturday that his country would fully implement its part of a deal meant to keep migrants from Europe’s shores even if the European Union refuses to abolish visas for Turkish citizens.

But Europe Minister Omar Celik warned that expanded cooperation on migration depended on that demand being met.

The pledge from Celik after his meeting with EU foreign ministers eased immediate concerns that the agreement now crimping the flow of migrants into Europe was in danger.

Celik said his meeting ended with ‘‘very strong consensus about focusing on the positive agenda and to further enhance the cooperation between Turkey and EU.’’

Still, the talks yielded no apparent indication of substantial progress on relieving tensions that have worsened in the aftermath of the July coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Turkey has instituted a sweeping crackdown of wide segments of society since then, sharpening antiterrorism legislation to include critical journalists, conducting mass arrests and firings from public sector jobs, and flirting with the possibility of reintroducing the death penalty.

The EU sees such moves as contradicting European human rights norms. It says visa-free travel for Turkish citizens is tied to Ankara rolling back its crackdown. There had been fears ahead of the meeting that Turkey might retaliate by backing out of the deal committing it to take back migrants from Syria and elsewhere attempting to enter the EU illegally from Turkey.
