That fact has been pointed out to some of the authorities. Especially as tourists and non-Turks are currently being targeted.

May as well put a "Bomb Me" sticker on the car

Makes excellent target practice. Remeber the Florida rent-a-car license plate a few years ago. That's just asking for trouble.

I like the last part of your comment. It has taken me 3 weeks to get a new visa for my car (which I bought here). Foreigners are not allowed to have ordinary number plates. We get what is known as an MA plate which is registered not locally but in the state capital.

Ordinary plates can be done in a couple of hours!

I don't know. Your point is also valid for Kuwait and the UAE. I can only assume it has something to do with the Arab Shia State.

Anyway it's interesting to contemplate but it's the writer's opinion and while the Middle East is a mess and quite inviting to external influences it's much harder to dictate outcomes. There's a discussion thread on the topic here:

The Turks have taken exception to the article, and map, and the thread is very Turk-centred. I suppose you'll find it interesting since you're there. It's funny how one guy claims there's no discrimination against minorities in Turkey!
