This might be true - and you know this better than me; yet not with
regard to Romanian (and Hungarian) that has plenty of Turkish 
loan words e.g.:
1) tutun (tütün)
2) ciorap
3) geamantan
4) bucluc
5) musafir
6) geanta
7) zseb (Hungarian)
8) rahat (=lokum)
9) kapu (Hungarian)
10) dusman
11) chibrit(?)
12) halat
13) burduf
14) buzunar
15) bumbac(?)
16) bozumfla, a se (??)
and many, many more I don't have in mind in the moment.
