Because of all the prejudices that many Turkish men have against women  . While a man is fairly indepenent and can pretty much do the same as a European man, women (in rural areas) still live in very traditional roles, so therefore there are bigger differences between them and European women.
He will probably marry you for money (with maybe a bit of love!) but when the gloss rubs off would resent you if you were not a virgin when you married, would miss all the traditional things that other Turkish wives do for their husbands (cooking Turkish food, cleaning, childcare etc.), and sometimes merely for your lack of "Turkishness"! However, the biggest difficulty would probably be his jealousy.
I guess you stand a better chance of it working if he is from Istanbul or maybe Ankara and is has a good job and is financially secure.
Thank you for the answer! As you may understand I m not Turkish. though it would be the same in my country as well. I think rural areas are pretty much the same everywhere. Two different cultures - City and Village. Nothing offensive in my words, though. I spent almost all my childhood in rural area and know how it is there. Thus, i think it is not the case.
Is there anything else? I mean smth more specific, absolutely Turksh 
I´ve heard about Turkish Jealosy .... but maybe it inheres to all Southern people and nations somehow or other, doesn´t it?
You mentioned "Turkishness"... What is it like? I recognize foreighners in my country by clothes, type of faces (though, i came to conclusion that there identical types of faces in all nations, countries, continents, and possessors of the same type all over the world have analogous characters) and smiles. What do you put into definition?
