Travel Advisories are up only for the areas near the Syrian border. Assuming the OP visited Istanbul and Western Turkey (as most tourists do), it's pretty much a world away from the conflict there. My 60ish parents were there a week ago and had a great time as did my gf and I in 2011.
Turkey is a great destination. Top-notch sights, wonderful Mediterranean climate, and possibly the friendliest people (to tourists anyways) in the world. Great photos, it really takes me back!
P.S. Basillica Cistern is an amazing place and I'm so glad you were able to do it justice with your camera and photography skills!
