Yup, but there's the slightly icky bit at the end about "Under the rules in their current form, those who have been resident for over a year and delay joining the Turkish system beyond the deadline of 31 January 2012 can choose to join later; but they would have to make a backdated payment to cover the period from 31 January if they had been resident in Turkey for a year at that date, and pay a fine.
"

Lets hope that can be clarified incase someone decides in the future to join the system (say 3 years) and cops 3 years of payments AND a fine.....

Does not say you can choose to join or not, just that you can join later.

"Under the rules in their current form,  those who have been resident for over a year  and delay joining the Turkish system beyond  the deadline of 31 January 2012 can choose to join later;  but they would have to make a backdated payment to cover the period from 31 January if they had been resident in Turkey for a year at that  date, and pay a fine."

I read it as meaning you can choose to join now or not.  If you choose not to and decide later to join, you will be clobbered with a fine AND backpayments to the 31st Jan.

BUT,
 When does the residency rule apply,we renewed ours May 2011 do we wait until May 2012 to register i.e after having lived here a year,or is from the date of issue.
We have heard,and seen in print,cases of people being told come back when your current residency is a year old but also know of people who have had their latest residency only a few months yet were allowed to register.

Love it.....at least everyone now has a choice, so everyone should be happy. Apart from those who are now going complain that they didn't really want to join but have rushed to do so....
We will still join at the end of our first years residency as we think that for approx £80 per couple per month it's great value for peace of mind.
Moral of the story ,yet again, do not rush to act on any changes here in Turkey just wait and see, as in every case so far it all changes before the original deadlines.
