Welcome

There is no need to post twice (I've removed the 2nd post)

You can apply for Turkish citizenship by naturalisation after 5 continuous years of legal residency on a residence permit. While property ownership grants you a short-term residence permit, it does not automatically give you a passport unless the property is $400,000 USD or more, which qualifies you for the fast-track . If you click on the link, the govenment website gives you all the information you need.
