Financial crisis has taken all over the world. Every country is facing sort of financial crisis and the most powerful economies like America, China and Russia and India are facing the world wide financial crisis and if we particularly talk about Europe and middle East countries, we will see that Turkey is facing crucial financial situation due to increase in inflation and de value of local currency as compare to other currencies. These crises are still to go for some more seven or eight months reported by Turkey ministry but the situation is still hard to control within sometime. But what is more concerning about Turkish economy is it is not globalizing economy as other European countries are. Somehow it is beneficial but more than that it is totally a disadvantage because international markets are always changing and with in sometime, the IMF and World Bank try to cover-up the problems by providing financial solutions but Turkey is not part of world social economy so it remains in crisis.
If we see the positive aspects regarding Turkish economy we see that the higher executives of economy and finance are capable to save Turkey from high effects of world’s financial crisis. The trained bank system, balance of payments, market system and infrastructure of business are designed in way that they can wok on their own despite depending on the world bank and IMF policies that are difficult and sometimes impossible to mange for developing countries and that is the reason that still Turkey’s economy is going good on the contrary to the world.
Turkey has set the rules and regulations for the foreign exchange currencies and markets in a way that they do not de value the local currency. And if some countries plan the foreign exchange rates with its local currency than chances are very rare to face crisis and this is what Turkey is managing for its money to remain stable for long.
Another factor that can affect any countries economy is the political condition and Turkey has to face the instable political issues because it lies between Europe and Middle East and religion crisis are always a problem for Turkey but still they had a good repute unlike other countries that had spoiled the economy due to religious crisis.
So we can say that Turkey is one of the strongest countries who are facing the financial crisis with determination and planning.

The real estate property has become a booming business in Turkey. The people buy and sell property in the season of tourists. In holidays people hire houses on rent to spend time with families. The investors spend on real estate just to earn rent and hotel charges. Not only houses and building are constructed for business rather it is done for housing purposes. Foreign investment in Turkey is also aimed at the construction of hotels and malls for earning profits. Household buildings are constructed for sale and are also a big business.
Because of Turkey’s participation in European Union, the demand for real estate has increased. The tourism is second factor contributing to increase worth of property in Turkey. Currently the trend of selling private properties to foreigners has given rise to the foreign ownership of Turkish property. Unlimited foreign ownership was banned in the country few years back, but now the law has changed which has reduced local individual property ownership. Most of the foreigners who have invested in Turkish property are British, Greeks and Germans.
Another implication of Turkish property is that a lot of and most of the property is owned by the government. An insignificant total of property was held with individuals who have now sold that to the foreign investors. The name of vakif foundation is worth mentioning here as it is the most important state organization which is controlling and managing the state property since many years. It is also an autonomous body that is contributing to Turkish economy as it is also responsible for running the bank named Vakif bank in the country.
The land owned by the government of Turkey is mostly the rural land that is reserved for agriculture production. The rural land has never been sold to any private firm or investor. This is what which makes Turkey distinctive from other European states which believe in private property. For not considering Turkey as a European Union member, this was also a major reason held previously.
The laws were amended regarding property rights in Turkey to allow and attract foreign investment in the country. Due to lower cost of life in Turkey people of other European countries are buying residential property in Turkey. Climate of the country is also a reason for foreign investment. Tourists spending on the stay in Turkey are a source of encouragement for the foreign as well as the local investors in this regard.

The cost of living in Turkey is the significant factor in comparing Turkish life quality with the rest of developed countries. To see the living wage in any country, the most important factors are the education cost, job opportunities, social welfare, cost of medicine, standard of life and expenditure on basic food items. For immigrants of developing countries, savings is the most significant aspect for which they migrate to Turkey or other parts of the world. Similarly the students who migrate to Turkey focus on low cost of living and facilitated life style.
As far as the income is concerned, the people working on low category jobs get such amount that can ensure proper life style. The cost of education in state run schools is quiet affordable for every one working and living in Turkey. In some places the education in state schools is free of cost but the education instruction language is Turkish. The two mediums of instruction are there. One is English medium and the other one is Turkish. The low or nil cost of schooling does not mean that the quality of education in governmental schools is inferior rather state run schools are to facilitate the masses.
The house rents vary from the quality and location of dwellings. The government employees get the house rent allowance so they live in the affordable houses. But in general housing is not a big issue as the minimum house rent is 250$. The minimum wage rate in the country is around three hundred dollars per day that makes the house rent affordable.
If the life cost of United Kingdom is compared with that of life cost in Turkey, it will be astonishing for people that the quality of life in Turkey is better than the United Kingdom. And the cost of living in Turkey is a good deal and stumpy as compare to the one in UK. People living in Turkey enjoy much more quality items of various kinds. The education, house rent, entertainment, various bills and food is available at low prices in Turkey which has helped reduce the differences between various social classes.
As the people of Turkey vale cooking at home, the cost of uncooked food items is highly affordable. The large amount of eating items is bought by the Turks but again the over all expenditure on food is insignificant. The cost of hospitalization is also half less than the hospitalization cost of United Kingdom.

Turkey, known as republic of Turkey is an important modernized Islamic state which is located in a geographical location that makes it Eurasian nation state. As its establishment was a result of an activist movement lead by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk after the end of Ottoman Empire, it has become a sole culture in the world that is a mix of modern Islamic civilization. Culture of Turkey is colored with the traditions of Islam, westernization, modernism, and Greek-o-roman civilization. Such a rich culture has made the life in Turkey as the one which gets appreciation of the entire world.
 The social institutions in Turkey are strong contributing to the socio economic development of the country. The family institution is the basic unit which is responsible of performing the social functions of reproduction, socialization and economic support of family members. The family types found mostly in Turkey are nuclear family and the extended family system. People keep the bonds of kinship ties while living a modern life.
 Although Turkey has officially declared itself as a secular state but still a modified and modernized version of Islam is practiced by the Muslims in Turkey. Women are still mostly house wives and get married at an earlier age as compare to men. Men are the economic supporters of the family. Although women can work to support the family but it has been found that most of the women are house wives. On the agriculture lands, the ratio of women laborers is higher as compare to men or women working in the urban areas. 
 The arts and music is highly valued by the Turkish population. For this the state has taken steps to preserve the old cultural traditions of Turkey. Cinema, music and theater are highly valued in this regard. Turkish literature expresses a vital influence of Arabic and Persian prose.
The Turkish constitution has made both, men and women equal before the law but, still law is tilted more in the favor of Turkish women. The education institution is working as a socializing agent for the members of society. The education rate is high which has reduced the birth rate in the country. The general religious customs and obligations are imposed on the Muslims by law and people willfully practice them at their own. The economy of Turkey is one of the strongest economies of the world. All the social institutions are well structured and maintained by the members of the society as well as by the state laws.

The modernized people of the republic of Turkey have a physical resemblance that is similar to both the Europeans and Arabs. The Turkish nation is the one that believes strongly in the socio economic development of the country and in the spirit of nationalism and modernism. Turkish population is portrayed as the youngest populace in Europe, as in the rest of western countries the population is going through the issue of aging. The youth is the largest stratum composing Turkish population. Although the Turkish youth has taken many aspects of western culture but still it possesses their national identities robustly. Acting as the carrier of traditions, the youth is working along with rest of the Turks to preserve rich Turkish cultural heritage. They are strong believers in self and remember their social responsibilities.
Turkish people are the well known for their hospitality and strong family ties. The Turkish people are reputed as generous hosts for the other Turks as well as for the foreigners. They welcome the guests to their homes and do not let any stone unturned in cheering their guest. Special food is cooked at the arrival of guests and is presented before them tenderly. The Turkish people prepares feast like dishes that have historical links with the Ottoman Empire and Greek-o-Muslim foods. The famous Turkish dishes are the cabbage dolma, baklava sweets, and kebabs. Many other kings like dishes are a part of Turkish diet and are loved by the tourists eating in restaurants of Turkey.
The family life of Turks is also worth praising. People have strong concerns with the family members and close relatives. Roles associated with a social position regarding family are well performed by every Turk as it is his primary responsibility. Father feels satisfaction in financially supporting his child until the child gets to an age of earning after completing his studies. The children in return are found to be committed to support parents in the old age. Modernity has not damaged the social setup and admiration of cultural self. The love and affection are also the important aspect of Turkish life. People have pride in their nationality and are patriotic towards the country.
The women are considered as significant as the men of Turkey. The women are modern and radical Muslims who value being functional for the family. The people of Turkey have western dress code and do not carry any traditional clothes.  As the roles in society are clearly defined for men and women, both are committed to the perfect performance of their role. This is the secret for the smooth and gradually progressing Turkish society.

Property investment in Turkey has been touted as one of the best things to do with your money, and because of this, many locals and foreigners have decided to put their money in things that would never be obsolete, nor would lose value in the future. And that “where” is in Turkish real estate properties. It is an established economic fact that land and other attachments to land do not lose their value immediately, even during times of economic lags and crises, and because of this, it would be like investing in gold, because you would have a kind of property or investment that would still be making money when a particular economy is not doing so well. This goes for every part of the world, not just in Europe. To invest in Turkey means gaining a foothold in one of the most progressive places in the world, with trade policies that are neoliberal, and a renewed vigor for capital and profits is something that Turkey is building upon now, owing to the fact that the labor market here is cheap, and can be utilized nearly immediately because foreign companies are given free reign within the country to operate as they will, with no government disturbances and no other things to curtail the progress and profit of companies themselves.

To invest in real estate property in Turkey means getting ahead, and building your future with the country well within the bounds of continuous progress and unrelenting development, owing to the fact also the base of people that would be directly your market is large, very, very large indeed, and for instance, if you are raring to introduce food produce into the branch of the global supermarket in the country of Turkey, you would not be disappointed since the consumer base is very flexible in terms of consumption and taste, and these can easily be altered with the right persuasion in the media and in print ads. `All in all it is a very winning proposition since it would be like planting seeds in a very ripe field and sprinkling water only when needed. The growth of your business and the growth of your real estate investment is assured, once again, because of the trade policies that have been put in place and because of this, you would not be losing, but gaining, gaining a lot from the enterprise itself. Relocation would not be problematic because there are many agencies and there are also other companies that handle the different kinds of problems that would be face by any foreign investor.
