I think this move strengthens the fact that there is a growing market in Turkey. Earlier we had heard that Myspace was getting ready into the Turkish social networking scene. Looks like there is going to be a nice competition of global players in Turkey pretty soon. On the other hand, it is also obvious that Turkish users are valued way cheaper at 15 euros/member.
