My educated guess would be the ones who actually spoke to the Head of the Mugla Police 3 weeks ago, one of which is Koray Atak who you have praised highly in the past. So therefore it is not, as above, a translator telling us the facts, it is the Head of Mugla Taffic Police,
I'd also like to point out that your quote above states "Effectively it means anyone living here should consider applying for a Turkish Driving License "...consider being the operative word!
It could be a translator telling people that, to get the job of helping them to do it! Not unheard of in the past!
I have never had cause to doubt Korays word and work, over the last 6 years, and I will stick with his recommendations gained from Mugla Police dept.
