I think one should focus that question towards the few Armenians who survived the Turk genocide of over a million Armenians.

And the Turks deny it happened. Even a conversation about it can get a Turk thrown in prison for 'instulting Trukishness."

Until Cypress is returned to full possession of the Greeks, Turks should be BANNED from Greece.  And I'm not even Greek! But I do like the idea of preserving Greekishness.

This reminds me of the clauses they had in grant deeds back in the 40's and 50's that precluded the seller selling to blacks. Real Estate is for anyone that can meet the buying/selling/investing criteria. Opinions don't purchase R. E.

Turks are probably seeking more of a save haven. You should be asking the Greeks, but they may just like the prices that are being paid.

That would be like asking what do Americans think about Mexicans (or Muslims or Jewish people or whoever) buying real estate in the U.S. That is a really loaded question. Some people like it, some don't, and to most people it doesn't really matter at all. People are people regardless of where they originated.

This is a tough question and the smallest comment can easily turn into an argument but generally speaking, I think any country would not welcome it with open arms when another country buys real estate in their country especially when the country is in a financial crisis.

 

Politically Greeks and Turks don't have the best relationships
