Hello TalhaÖzkan,
It sounds as if there is some technical problem with our registration process. I'll ask our technical team to have a look at it, but I'm afraid it's going to be another week or two before they will be able to do that.
In the meantime, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. And thanks very much for pointing this out to us!
All the best,

Hello TalhaÖzkan,
We are currently unable to process payments in Turkey, which means that subscriptions are not available there. This is reason why 'Turkey' is not available as an option at the moment, and is also the reason the system chooses another option.
I'm sorry about this, and also for taking so long to get back to you. Hopefully, we'll be able to offer subscriptions to users in Turkey in the near future.
All the best,
Kirk
