Its not Lucky, Location, Location and Location is very important for Geo-politics.
But it's not like the Turkish people, or government, got to look at the 2017 world map and place a claim marker. It's 100% luck.
The number in the video is 112, which is Turkish-equivalent of 911 in the U.S.
I don't understand what the problem is. How is this any different from the Queen of England taking over the entire UK airwaves for a half-hour speech on Christmas Day? /s
The difference is you can opt to not listen to the Queen, here you have no other choice, the message is played for any call you make.

Can you opt not to have a Queen and not be a subject to some royal family you never voted for or agreed to?
Yes. The UK could vote to abolish the monarchy, but they haven't. In a typical democracy, you are subject to laws that you didn't vote for or "agree to". A modern constitutional monarchy is a structure agreed to by the people.

To play devil's advocate: you can opt to not listen to Erdogan, just wait until he is finished. I believe he's right, the Queen's message is similar.
Devils devils advocate here :) It's part of the nature of radio that you are in control of the channel, but not the message heard, as it's controlled by programming - the other kind of programming. This is dissimilar to telephone where a specific channel (number) is uniquely expected to reach a specific person, company, or household. Thus the analogy breaks twofold.

And what was the last time that the UK voted to be a monarchy? Because Turkey voting recently makes it arguably more democratic.
For a additional level of scary allow people to opt out but record who they are and compile a list. Use the list to deny them services or imprison when the next overthrow is attempted."You've been protesting and we noticed you blocked messages from our glorious leader... clearly a candidate for the labor camp"
Have anybody thought why you hear the sound(beeeep-beeeeep-....) when you make a call and from where it comes? Yes, telco can put anything there. Even more, I wounder why we do not hear some commercial Ad's every time we call. This would be in a spirit of current times...
