I am a native Japanese speaker bu did not know this.
I don't think Turkey is as popular a destination as other countries yet.
however, I do understand how it could be easy for the Japanese to learn their language if the grammatical structure is similar.
Japanese and Koreans seem to have a easy time learning each other's languages too because the structure is similar.
So if Turkish is along the same line, then, sure, it must be so.
I do notice that the Turkish in japan seem to be better in Japanese than the English speakers...
