Assuming the Turkish rate is linked to the rate here, the answer is yes-the rate did go up by .75% about 10-14 days ago.
Whether it gets passed on in full,is down to shopping around as usual.
From experience if you have a reasonable sum to invest,say £100000 or more, you can get 1.5-2% over the published rate without much trouble.
hope this helps
