  Artificial Light pollution (AL) in Turkey and in Turkish observatories
between 2012--2020 have been studied using the archival data of Visible
Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument. The astroGIS database has
been used in processing the data (https://www.astrogis.org)
\cite{2020MNRAS.493.1204A}. The total energy released to space from Turkey
increased by 80\% in 2019 with respect to 2012. In the span of the dataset, a
steady and continuous increase has been observed throughout all cities of the
country. On the other hand, Dark Sky Park locations, East and Southeast
Anatolian regions and mostly rural areas around the cities kept their AL level
constant. Four demographic parameters have been studied and they were found to
be correlated very well with AL: Population ($R \simeq 0.90$); GDP ($R \simeq
0.87$); Total Power Consumption ($R \simeq 0.66$) and Outdoor Lightening ($R
\simeq 0.67$). Contrary to countries acting to prevent AL increases, Turkey
seems to be at the beginning of an era where AL will arithmetically increase
throughout the country and enormous amount of energy will continuously escape
to space and therefore will be wasted. Therefore, a preventive legislation,
especially for invaluable astronomical site locations such as TURAG, TUG, DAG
and \c{C}AAM where each is counted as a truly dark site due to their SQM
values, has to be enacted in Turkey, in very near future.
