How to obtain citizenship by buying an apartment in Istanbul Turkey?

When you buy an apartment in Istanbul, you have achieved the first condition that must be met to obtain this residence, which is that the property is used for housing, and in addition, it must not be within a security or military area.

The foreigner must not hold one of the nationalities prohibited by Turkish law from owning property in Turkey (Syrian - Armenian - Cuban - North Korea - Greek Cyprus).

Also, the apartment should not be within one of the security and military areas where foreigners cannot own property. What is distinguished in this type of residence is that there are no conditions related to the value of the property or its area. Any apartment or property designated for housing, no matter how small its area, is suitable for obtaining it.
