Turkey’s Cabinet is in the process of finalizing a law adopted by Parliament last May which bans citizens of six countries -- Armenia, Cuba, Nigeria, North Korea, Syria and Yemen -- from buying real estate in Turkey, according to Sabah newspaper. No reason was given for blacklisting these countries.
The law demonstrates the persistent hostility of Turkish officials, contradicting their sugarcoated announcements about wanting to normalize relations with Armenia. After reviewing the restriction placed on its citizens, the Armenian Parliament should consider adopting retaliatory measures against citizens of Turkey interested in purchasing Armenian properties.
