Kurds who support Turkey’s autocratic President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are hard to come by in Washington, DC. But one such individual says he’s the highest bidder for Vice President Kamala Harris’ home at the Westlight condominium complex in northwest Washington’s West End neighborhood. Muhsin Bayrak, a rags-to-riches businessman and chieftain of the sprawling Modki tribe from Turkey’s mainly Kurdish Bitlis province, said, “The negotiations are about to be concluded and we’re planning to sign soon.” Bayrak did not reveal how much he’d offered for the 1,731-square-foot condo at 1111 24th St., which is listed for $1,995,000. The listing was still fully active as of the time of publication of this article. It’s been on the market for nine days.
In comments to the Turkish media, Bayrak claimed that his prospective acquisition of the vice president’s two-bedroom flat “is of great importance to Turkey as well.” He did not elaborate.
