How will a past visa overstay impact my citizenship by investment application in Turkey?

I’m from Iraq and would like to purchase an apartment in Istanbul and get citizenship. But the only issue is that I once overstayed my tourist visa in Turkey due to a family emergency and I’m concerned this would make me ineligible? How can I remedy this?

    If no entry ban is issued following the visa overstay but instead a fine is paid, it should have no impact in principle.
