Ali Rıza Öztürk, meanwhile, said Gulf countries were among those states that did not permit Turks to buy land on their soil and added that Belgium and the Netherlands only allowed foreigners to rent.

Dilek Yılmaz from the Republican People’s Party (CHP) also recalled the massive land purchases of Arab land that Jews made before the creation of Israel, while CHP lawmaker Bülent Tezcan spoke of rumors that large swaths of land would be sold to Iraqi Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani.

Lawmakers from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) also raised similar objections.
