National economy (Turkish: millî iktisat) is the economic plan envisioned by Ziya Gökalp and carried out by successive Ottoman and Turkish governments, which involved the systematic dispossession of native Christian bourgeoisie (which primarily occurred as a result of the Armenian genocide and expulsion of Greeks) and their replacement by Muslim Turks, in addition to large-scale confiscation and redistribution of Christian-owned property.[1][2] Türk Yurdu announced 1915 as the starting year of the national economy.[3] Confiscation of Christian-owned property continued until the late twentieth century.[4]
