I just want to add a clarification from Şule Beder (lawyer) re the interpretation of "interuption".
If you stay out of the Turkey more then 6 months in 1 year and total 1 year last 5 years, could mean interruption to your residency.
Also I would strongly advise everyone with an "issue" or question to contact the Consulate. Normally when a law is signed off by the President it becomes law virtually with immediate effect. The year between the law being signed and implemented probably means one thing... there is a consultation period and time to iron out potential anomalies.
The more people that raise questions, issues, examples, etc. the more likely that these will be addressed before implementation.
