Mentions without new numbers: thresholds of USD 250,000/350-400,000/400,000 cited by MPs (pp. 10, 39, 40, 85), an MP's example of a property worth USD 150,000 valued at 400,000 (p. 44, illustrative), unanswered parliamentary questions on route-by-route counts (pp. 40, 62, 78). Out of scope: 238,781 Syrians naturalised exceptionally (p. 99, not investment), MP Bakırlıoğlu's '800,000 excess voters' (p. 40), foreigner stocks, FDI.
