Turkey has embraced cultures and peoples from around the world throughout its history. It served as a melting pot for diverse civilizations, notably the ancient Ottoman civilization, making it a refuge for many people from the Arab and foreign worlds. Turkey continues to open its doors to those seeking stability and security on its land.

Many Iraqi citizens have chosen to live and invest their money in Turkey due to concerns about political and economic insecurity in their own country. Turkey has become a destination for those seeking a more stable environment.

Why Iraqis Choose to Invest in Turkey?

 
Iraqis are drawn to invest in Turkey for several reasons. Turkey stands out as a politically and economically stable country, even amidst current regional challenges, such as fluctuations in the lira's value and an increase in the inflation rate. In 2021, Turkey maintained its global standing, ranking 11th in terms of Gross Domestic Product. This positive economic and regional stability is expected to persist in 2024, buoyed by Turkey's advancing economic indicators. Additionally, Turkey provides facilitative legal procedures regarding ownership, citizenship, and residency permits.
 
Turkey's strategic location, along with its proximity to Iraq, has established it as an affordable tourist destination. The presence of Kurds in the region deepens economic and political ties between the two countries. Turkey's Islamic cultural identity, influenced by the East, helps blend the two cultures, showcasing a historical connection dating back to the Ottoman era.
 
A well-known Turkish saying, highlighted by journalist Manal Akin, underscores this lasting connection: "Keep asking, and you'll discover the answer in Baghdad." This underscores Baghdad's significance as the origin of knowledge, civilization, and culture in the eyes of the Turks.
 
In education, Turkish government schools provide free education to all Arab communities, including the Iraqi community. Turkish schools are renowned for their high-quality education. Additionally, there is a proliferation of Iraqi private and international schools in Turkey.
