Wow, that doesn´t sound very friendly. It certainly isn´t very hospitable for expats.....and I was considering retirement in Turkey. 

I did not read the whole article carefully, but can someone tell me how this applies to anyone wanting to stay in Turkey more than 3 months? What if they have their own money, will they have to leave after 3 months, stay away for 3 months before entering again...???

Yes, and it will only cost XXXXXXX $$$$ but it is the only way and, if it could be done for free, of course they would do it....  meanwhile....hand over your first born...and....and...

Absolutly, 100%, when I read the transcript it was amazing, but after all, it was on a Fox/ WSJ (now Rupert Murdock) sponsored debate. He said we should stop giving Turkey aid...but didn´t know Turkey doesn´t get aid from the US

It´s amazing these people get away with outright lying. .....but then they probably sudscribe to the "Big Lie" school. 

Rick Perry, US Republican Presidential candidate: Turkey run by Islamic Terrorists"

One day Nasreddin Hoca borrowed a pot from his neighbor. After about a week, he returned the pot with a smaller one. Perplexed, his neighbor asked why he was giving him another pot. Hoca told him the pot had a baby. 

About a month later the Hoca asked to borrow a teapot, to which the neighbor anticipating two in return was overjoyed to bring the Hoca a teapot. 

After a couple of months waiting he couldn´t take it anymore, so he went to the Hoca´s home and asked about the teapot, to which the Hoca told him it died. The neighbor was upset and said what do you mean, how can a teapot die. The hHca asked if you believed it could have a baby, why now you don´t believe it could die?
