as we take on the world, we're all about the story that matter to you. whatever it take by police, my we are here is actually on fire made for mine in the news . hello and welcome to focus on europe. it's great to have you with us. for many people in turkey, day to day life has become far too expensive. due largely to the dire economic

situation, the country is facing. and soaring, inflation. under president era, one government, the price of food has skyrocketed. meanwhile, energy prices have risen in tandem as have the costs of renting an apartment or buying a home or condo. that's especially true in turkey, the most popular vacation areas. but here it's mainly russians who are driving prices up. turkey is one of the only countries you can still fly to directly from moscow and for russians on how ya, on the mediterranean coast, is not only a beautiful city to vacation and but a refuge from the consequences of russia's war against ukraine. but the rising real estate prices mean locals in antalya like movie ya, sher and their main pasha may soon no longer be able to afford their homes. antalya on the mediterranean coastline is one of turkey's biggest cities. even in winter, you can spend a day at the beach here. so it's no wonder that an talia's real estate market is

booming. but the main reason for the weekly price hike is the growing number of russians who've been coming ever since the war and ukraine started looking to buy or rent homes. it's left residence like mussa, yasha and nare mean tasha struggling with this situation. in some cases, real estate prices are off by a to 900 percent up on my shock. even civil servants can't afford to live here anymore. darker so i know several who vast to be transferred because of the high ranks. we may my, she could, i could all letter the all yes shar and touch take created a group on social media called rent victims. they're visiting a pensioner who has been served noticed by his landlord. he can't afford his rent after a fivefold increase. alicia messiah is over. how much of a customer we haven't got a flat will now go to a foreigner,

up. they have more money to spend in a month than we do in a year and make bottoms well, they let got on to. so i time for the states to step in together, the usa law, they need to provide social housing mold so that we low income families also have a place to live with somebody without the least a letter or a list of scenarios. they feel the main reason why real estate prices have skyrocketed is the growing number of foreign buyers. most buyers are russian, and there are nearly 60000 russians currently living in antalya, according to real estate agents. this has drastically impacted the market. not based me that i found the apartments that were put on the market for a 5000 years or about $250.00 heroes, could suddenly be rented to foreigners for 3 times the price either. when neighbors caught on to this apartment, they began demanding the same rents cautioned like bombay every, i'm cautious. one wish i video, the rent activists are feeling increasingly frustrated. not to be duties that

anyone who comes here should be allowed to live as they please. that's absolutely fine. it's when it's at the expense of our children, our future, that it becomes a problem with the cities orthodox parish serves as a meeting place for many russians. several of the men here came in case russia introduces a draft. the metropolitan bishop tells us, others came to turkey because of the international sanctions against their country . oh davi. scottish already came to antalya before the war broke out. for him, the church choir offers a connection to home. oh, he says it has become increasingly difficult to gain a foothold and antalya even for russians. gotcha. so a low down low, especially in the 1st weeks. it's hard to find an apartment or even a job isn't. is this showing people asked me for advice. all the time with them, but unfortunately on, i'm not always able to help. i do. you have to own

a business or real estate. i will about kick in 5 years not so melissa. saddle. thought f is an i t specialist. he like sitting on the turkish riviera, working way on his laptop, but he's aware that although he can afford to rent upwards of 500 euros, many turkish people are being left behind. ah, so i thought only we follow the requirements made by turkish authorities and otherwise let the market guide us. when looking for housing, you can't blame us for the economic and social consequences of that system. let me give up it for medical. but in mussa, yasha is eyes. there is blame to go around when it comes to the housing crisis. and some lies with politicians. he wants to confront the head of the inner city district where most russians have settled so simple to do, which i did love you in the past. foreigners used to come here on vacation below they book one or 2 week package holidays on the level that they didn't buy houses

and settle here to love about us, mama, she minded a different percentage of foreign tenants or homeowners in a district exceeds 20 percent. the real estate market is closed to foreigners, wasn't a copy of 3 districts here in antalya already have such a been in place since last july. again, that amended law nick about the letter buffalo. can you at least help affected citizens like me to find an apartment, but i of them don't from technology. well that's not my job. that's up to the agents. oh, when yeah, shar picks his daughter up from school. he still doesn't have a new apartment to tell her about. he puts on a brave face, but his despair is growing. the rising whence in antalya may soon force residents like massage are to leave their home town. i having financial worries of a struggle all too many romanians now as well. the country is one of the poorest in

the u. and in rural regions, even a visit to the doctor constrained a monthly budget to the breaking point in the village of hotel correlate many people don't have health insurance, and the nearest doctor is so far away that the journey alone is prohibitively expensive. luckily, there are doctors who can help like the ones behind me here. their motto is if the patient can't come to the doctor, then the doctor has to go to the patient free of charge. it's 6 30 am and the romanian capital, bucharest. visa medallion is meeting a friend who will be taking her to the remotest parts of the country. she is straining to be a nurse and volunteers for the aide organization, corvana cool me beach, or dr. is caravan. the visa has a long day of work ahead of her for which she won't get paid, but she's committed to helping disadvantage people in her home country as their law combine. yeah. as part of the campaign,
