Chairman of Property Investors’ Association of Arab Countries and Turkic States, Abdullah Ciftci, has stated that wealthy Africans would start to prefer Istanbul to invest in real estate.
Stating that Turkey drew attention from Africa and the Arab world following Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visits to these countries, Ciftci said, “Together with reciprocity, the Arabs took action to buy real estate in Turkey. However, not only Arabs’, but also African citizens’ purchasing of real estate from Turkey is to increase.”
“Turkish PM Erdogan’s initiatives and visits in different Arab countries led way to Turks and Arabs remembering their historical ties and Arabs headed towards Turkey. Similarly, Africa with 55 countries and over one billion in population, has a sympathy towards Turkey,” said Ciftci.
Ciftci also said that the wealthy Africans and businessmen who used to buy real estate in metropolitan cities of the world such as London, Paris and New York, are to prefer Istanbul in politically and economically re-shaping world.
