That's debatable, and often driven by politics or economics, to be mildly OMNI-esque. It also tends to be more of a North American viewpoint.
But I strongly support a Turkey sub-forum in the Europe section, and certainly there is a lot more to the country than just IST, which really doesn't seem to get much exposure here. OP's original motivations may not be the same as mine, but I support the recommendation, so long as FT keeps Turkey within the Europe forum.
