You're going to have to be careful about the 'native speaker' claim as many only see people from a given set of countries as such.
This example shows the point.

General Requirements:
• Native speaker from Australia, Canada, South Africa, the UK, or the USA; must possess a Bachelor’s Degree or higher (in any field).


That doesn't mean your English is substandard or you're inferior in any way to native speakers from the listed countries, just many companies won't accept you as a native speaker if you aren't.

On the bright side, I'm assured the state of the industry in Turkey is a mess with a lot of terrible teachers so, if your English skills are good, your chances of a job are likely to be reasonable.
