Ok I have managed to find some literature saying it does occur in the extreme west, but I wondered if it occurs in mountainous habitat above Side/Oymapinar Reservoir, which are east of Antalya.
Of course you need to i/d the bird in question to separate it from the very-similar and widespread Chukar, and I didn't do that, but just curious really as the bird I saw a few years back was in ideal Rock Partridge habitat, high in the rocky mountains above the reservoir.
Chukars themselves can occur in mountainous districts I believe.
