Today March 31 , 2015 GMT +0200 1030am-4pm Turkey has suffered a major power outage impacting nearly 70M people. I am writing a blog post about power outage vs impact to network usage. I am looking for as much as useful network usage information possible related to Turkey.
If you can share network usage information, i will be making sure to buy you some drinks at next nanog

You may want to look at the RIPE Atlas project, they jsut did a
similar thing on the power outage in The Netherlands.
Density of RIPE Atlas probes in Turkey is quite low, probably too low
to do something useful with:
7 probes disconnect at the same time around 7:30-ish UTC and number of
probes returns to baselevel around 15:00 UTC.
There is some telecom, isp which have route from EU to AU via east or south east (via Russia, Red sea or other ways) ? Now i have path via US and looking something in opposite direction.
Turkey unfortunately doesn't have a major internet exchange point as we
know it.
It has T-NAP which is few isps coming together and establishing L3 link
between each other and sending some prefixes to keep traffic local. It's
however more like a coordinated PNI not an exchange point.
there are several others like IST-IX, etc which I don't think actually
changes any significant (1G-10G...etc) traffic
