What will they dream up next...

I bet this is dropped before season starts May 1st.

For the record, I have more Turkey entry/exit stamps than usable pages in my passport - I just checked. Luckily, they put up to 3 sets in each page. Had they needed a blank page for each one since I got the passport, I'd have no pages left.

What I want to know that if they do bring this idiotic practice in after 2012 and you havent got a blank page, will you have to get a new passport??  This is a country that relies quite a bit on tourism and all they seem to want to do is turn them away......

Another point is that the people with passports crammed full of stamps (from many countries, not just Turkey) are often businessmen - so they are going to turn them away at the airport? So much for seeking investment in Turkey...

Surely if you enter on a Tourist Visa and make three visits to Turkey under the 90/180 day multiple entry rule, they will have to make all entry and exit stamps on the page which contains your Visa sticker.

That did cross my mind too but sadly it doesn't even appear to be a prank
