Now someone (maybe Rudey) correct me if I'm worng, but I'd always understood that Mein Kampf' wasn't exactly readily available to the general populace in Turkey and many places outside of the "western world".
Personally I'm somewhat concerned that Hitler's book is reaching an audience that won't know or understand the context of his rantings or what this book ultimately produced.

I don't know about Turkey for sure, but Nazi texts and anti-semitic literature are wide-spread throughout the middle east and Arab lands. Egypt had a widely popular television show based on the Elders of Zion.
And I'm sure that the Turks are very interested in what led to the Holocaust given that they took such a great interest in the Armenian genocides.
