Without knowing Turkish and knowing salient topics related to Turkish politics, of course we are not going to find anything interesting. It's a lot of research to find the stuff that might be actually interesting and relevant.
Wikileaks don't have access to any Turkish-speakers I think (at least not in the inner circle of people who might get access to unpublished submissions), so you can't assume there's something truly scandalous in there. They were released for a reason, yes, but that reason is the fairly obvious one that there was a coup attempt in Turkey right now.
It has value as research material for people studying or writing about the current political situation in Turkey, even if there are no "smoking gun"-type single documents in there.
