It depends to your destination.
If you have a connection flight within the European Community or United States, it is not permitted to carry any previously purchased duty-free products (over 100ml) as hand luggage even in sealed bags

EU (and now also US) arrivals are not screened in IST - you do not even go through Security. For jetty arrival you need to show your B/Pas and you will be sent upstairs - to the departure area, for bus arrivals - these is a separate terminal entry skipping security (B/Pass is also verified).

I transit through IST roughly 15 times a year, on half the times from EU, and I have only one time experienced not to be let through the transit security. It might be due to the airports I fly from, I don't know.
