Most folk in Turkey can't consume media from outside sources as they (genuinely) lack the language skills. Turkish media is either just tabloids or state owned propoganda.

Why would Turkish media tell them? They are controlled by Erdogan (were public tv reports about the election didn't even mention his opponent by name... he was just "that other guy").

Well not sure about that, the Danish guy that did it have been doing similar things for a while. So while maybe it was somehow encouraged I'm sure he could have gotten the brilliant idea himself. What a genius display of free speech it was...
