It is sad to hear this. I actually never heard such restrictions for people travelling to Turkey. BTW: A lot of countries, including Israel, don't need a visa for Turkey. For others it is technically a non-issue to get it at the border. Beside many European cities there are direct flights to Istanbul from: Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, New York, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, and Tel Aviv.
