I would say the same problem absolutely exists in regards to Turkey and is probably getting even force because Turkey controls the entire Turkish speaking university system in both Turkey and N Cyprus. And because academics in Turkey have been slowly losing freedoms over the past decade (with an even bigger recent acceleration of this), its really hard to speak freely. And there is an insanely small Turkish or Turkish specialist academic community outside of Turkey, with a significant number being funded by Turkey which causes issues. Central asia has scholars, because of the Russia element, but Turkey has the too Middle eastern for Europe too european for the middle east thing going on. So while I am sure there are even less academic sources on Central Asia, I would definitely argue Turkey has the least amount of decent political texts on it given its relative geostrategic importance.

Lets look at the example of journalism because I am more familiar with that. places like CNN and the like often use istanbul as their middle eastern news bureau. That means the person who is in charge of it is often an arabist not a Turkey expert. I will again pick on CNN, and some of her analysis of the recent coup was laughable, talking about its secular nature (it was likely gulenist), the population was united in going out in the streets (almost exclusively hardcore ak supporters), and just other flatly wrong things. But this is what we get in the west.

Turkeys ultimate problem for knowledge on it is its limbo status. Maybe, just maybe if Erdogan truly succeeds and holds for another 3 decades it can get some decent academic work on it. But after erdogan dies and his cult of personality falls, it is likely to go right back towards the west with a liberal government. So the problem continues.

As a non academic knowledgeable person on Turkey, I dont expect Turkish academics to get better anytime soon. You dont have enough investment in trying to understand it and too many people from the news think they understand it already, so you dont have people stumbling in curiously. I mean hell if the west had decided to report fairly on whats going on with gulen instead of pretending it was all a conspiracy that might have happened, but it wont anytime soon.
