I do not actively know from experience, but from what they write on their website travelling alone has no influence on anything.

I´m trying to understand what you write above, but I do not. I assume you are saying "my RC is on a separate piece of paper, because my passport expired"...
I think it doesn´t matter, and what the Turkish ministry writes is pretty simple and should remain valid in any case:
>>Turkish ministry of foreign affiars<< wrote:Pakistan: (...)Ordinary passport holders are required to have visa to enter Turkey. Ordinary passport holders with a valid Schengen, OECD member's visa or residence permit may get their one month single entry visas at the Turkish border gates upon their arrival.
Translated into simple terms:
- If you are from Pakistan you will need a visa, which you have to obtain through a Turkish embassy
- If you have any residence permit from any OECD-country, you can get the Turkish visa at the border instead of obtaining it though an embassy.
- If you do get your visa at the port-of-entry, it will be a single-entry visa valid for one month.

The Turkish ministry came up with the OECD idea. The
>>OECD<< is the OECD is the "
Organisation for
Economic
Co-operation and
Development ". It doesn´t refer to anything else than that...

Thanks
From what I understand (this may of course be wrong), what matters is that you have
- a valid residence permit in any OECD country (to which the UK belongs), AND
- a valid passport,
and that these 2 things will allow you to get a one-month visa at the Turkish border.
I would be surprised if this is totally off track, but I don´t know...
