While, the benefits of OWS and *G might be similar, TK is the one to set the T&C of this program and they could decide whatever to do.
As far as I know, they did match at least one Finnair Gold here ( oneworld Sapphire ) which was back before COVID but other than that I have not heard any OWS being successfully matched to Turkish Miles&Smiles.
Ah, than everything makes sense, I thought there was a mistake from the customer support operator. All good.
Any suggestion for other successful status match from OW Sapphire to other Star Alliance frequent flyer program (Gold level)?
Thanks
