There was never an intent do deny Turkey anything. The thing was that
the uppercase of i is I (usually) and the uppercase of Ä is also I, so i, I,
and Ä used to be folded together (to i) in the drafts for IDN. Apparently
that was deemed to harsh and was modified. (I think I complained at
some point, but it wasn't modified then, but apparently much later.)
Still for IDNs there is no language dependence in the case folding, as
there are for the case *mappings*. So "I" is turned into "i" (not "Ä") also
for Turkish for IDNs. On the other hand, domain names are most often
written in lowercase anyway.

OK, that sounds reasonable now. I guess Turks and Azeris will just have
to make sure they use lower case domain names, which makes more sense
anyway.
