The new palace, which will be built at a cost of 14 million Turkish lira, has caused a great deal of controversy given the financial problems caused by the pandemic and the devalued lira.
Turkish President Erdogan has gifted the cost of the palace to President Tatar and the land in Lefkoşa Aydemet district and Ortaköy district on which it will be constructed, will be demilitarised.
There have been calls to spend the 14 million Turkish lira on the real sector and that there was no need for a ‘showy’ palace.
