Foreign investors started to invest in real estate in Turkey after the Turkish government had stated a law that gives foreigners the right to acquire Turkish Citizenship after they buy 250K USD worth of real estate in Turkey provided they do not resell it during the next three years.

This way, you will have won Turkish Citizenship and doubled your money after reselling the real estate you had bought.

- Stability:

Turkey itself represents a stable atmosphere in many fields, such as politics and security. This kind of atmosphere is not available in many Arab and Middle East countries, which made a lot of people from many countries move to live in Turkey seeking a better future, getting the advantage of the free developed education and medicine, and the cheap living expenses compared to the European countries.
