How can one use investments in the Turkish lira to get citizenship in Turkey?

Would I be able to get Turkish citizenship if I buy properties in Istanbul using my Turkish lira savings which would be equal to the minimum investment threshold of $250,000?

    It used to be eligible but not anymore. The government has amended the regulation regarding payments. According to the new regulation, the money has to come as foreign currency to the Turkish bank account or seller bank account then it needs to exchange to the Turkish lira in order to be eligible for the CBI program.
