I think it might depend on the length of strings, from nut to bridge - could you measure this and post? I've strung Turkish ouds with Arabic strings
before with good success, but also had situations where normal Arabic strings didn't work for the instrument and needed to use other gauges.

Hello Mourad:
Since Turkish is shorter scale length, using the Aquila Arabic strings set on your Turkish oud and tuning it to the Arabic tuning should be fine.
Only the E will have a little lower tension, but that might be okay.
