This is going to be their eighth non-English version, and should have a subscription of 50,000. I might subscribe as well.

I had a bit of déjà vu reading this, and this is why:

"We are delighted to be joining with Ciner to launch a high-quality newsmagazine for today's Turkish audience," Ascheim said. "We welcome the opportunity to expand our foreign-language editions into Turkey. We are excited that the launch of Newsweek Turkey is now getting close to reality." The launch was originally scheduled for 2007, but was delayed.
and some more info on the other language editions:

Circulation is expected to be 50.000, and will be distributed throughout Turkey...

Newsweek publishes three English-language international editions (Europe/Middle East/Africa, Asia and Latin America) and now has seven foreign- language editions under license. Newsweek is the only American newsweekly to publish foreign-language editions with an approximate aggregate circulation of 600,000.

Newsweek Nihon Ban, in Japanese, is published in collaboration with Hankyu Corporation of Osaka, Japan. It's been published since 1986. Newsweek Hankuk Pan, in Korean, has been published under a licensing agreement with Joong-ang Ilbo of Korea, since 1991. In 1996, Newsweek announced the launch of Newsweek en Espanol, a Spanish-language edition. It's distributed throughout Latin America, and, since January 2004, is published with News for America, LLC of Mexico City. Newsweek in Arabic, published in Kuwait by Dar Al-Watan Publishing Group, is distributed throughout Persian Gulf countries, the Middle East, North African nations and select cities in Europe and the U.S. Newsweek in Arabic was launched in June 2000.

And in December 2002 Newsweek, signed an agreement with Hong Kong's Vertex Group, to publish Newsweek Select-a Chinese-language magazine. Distribution of the magazine in the Peoples Republic of China began in April 2004. In 2004, Newsweek launched "Russky Newsweek" published in collaboration with Moscow- based Axel Springer Russia.
