The centre back confirmed on his personal website that he has signed for the Premiership strugglers and worked for a year with their coach Graeme Souness at the Istanbul club five years ago.
Hakan has a three and a half year contract with Blackburn who paid £2 million to sign defender who refused a new contract to stay at Gala and was frozen out of first team action from late last year.
