PRIORITY IN AREAS WITH SUPPLY SHORTAGES

According to a report by Emrah Özcan from Türkiye newspaper, Erdoğan stated that affordable 1+1 and 2+1 housing will be produced especially for citizens with fixed incomes, young people, and newly married couples, and it was learned that priority will be given to areas experiencing supply shortages.
