Which side of the customs check they're on makes a huge difference to the legal situation, it could be a sign towards acceptance though as its ideal for customs observation.
Travelersbox told in an interview http://bitcoin-turkiye.blogspot.com/2013/11/bitcoin-kiosk-of-istanbul-travelersbox.html that kiosks were located both landside and airside. You can find units at the land side next to the check in area, next to HSBC business lounge, gate 214, gate 216 and around the gates.

Wow. Taken altogether, that's a ringing endorsement. Expect retailer uptake to come about because of this. Someone powerful really wants the dollar/fiat system dead, I don't think there's any mistaking that. Or the Turkish political powers want to do that themselves, but that seems less likely... I guess we will maybe someday find an answer to that.

We need these things in every major international airport. If you could get local fiat out it would be even better.

One day we might be able to travel just about anywhere using bitcoin, hopefully.

The company doing this were covered on Coindesk, and they're apparently pushing to get the 5 more ATM's into other international airports before the end of the year. Based in Gibraltar (another eyebrow raiser IMO).

Sign of acceptance about what? Paypal,ebay and amazon? I 'm pretty sure those companies are acceptable in Turkey.

CoinDesk -- UPDATE (25th November 2013 16:25 GMT): Travelers Box is now no longer converting foreign currency into bitcoin. CEO Tomer Zussman sent CoinDesk the following statement:

“We never expected this kind of exposure at this early stage. The kiosks are working very well with all other products but we didn’t expect what happened with Bitcoin in few days. The volume and demand  were very high and we had to reevaluate the process and the technical challenges.

We are working very hard in order to bring Bitcoin back to the kiosks and we will announce it as soon as possible.”

Wtf? They run out of coins or something? That looked kind of amateurish anyway.
