Well, this is expected I guess, as those markets are not secure for Poker site and for players also. Since PokerStars and Full tilt made a first move, I expected others to follow them in those actions. I am shocked with situation in Turkey, they should be able to make those laws propperly to play, since its Eu country, preety rich.. Hope that situation will get better in next couple of months.
