You can't change your country to Turkey if you're not in Turkey.
If you use VPN to fool Steam, when they discover, you might get your account suspended.

But if you actually move to Turkey, you can safely change the store country and your 40 Euro will be converted to their currency.

This isn't allowed and your account can get locked.

That will get your account banned.
You can also only change region if you have a legit address of residence in that country and a payment method registered to that country.
They CHECK those things.

So my tip, DONT. Buy games in the country you are living. The reason the games are cheaper in other countries are because the average income is much lower and the people are poorer.
You are not poor, you can afford the prices in your own region.

Valve did.

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to order or purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
