The UK doesn't tax money transfers themselves at all, either transferring into or out of the UK. You also shouldn't be charged any taxes on any interest on the savings as you won't be resident.

You would probably owe taxes on the interest to Turkey, and under the "Automatic Exchange of Information" rules the UK would probably inform Turkey directly about any interest you received.

There's also only a limited selection of savings accounts available to non-residents.
