Poland alone rates Turkey at level 1. Every other government places it higher, all at level 2. Where one government is markedly more relaxed than the rest, the safer planning assumption is the majority view rather than the most reassuring one.
These assessments are not equally current. Japan's dates from May 2024 — roughly 2.4 years old — so it describes conditions that may have changed several times over since.
The warnings for Turkey are not uniform across the country. 40 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Siirt and Hakkari. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
