Well, crh and tt are related languages (looking at ISO
classification), or dialects, but they are not the same. They are
mutually comprehensible, so in a sense they can be considered
dialects, but extent of mutual comprehensibility also depends on what
alphabet one uses, etc.
In general, tt_TR would be using 2 more characters in comparison to
crh, spelling is fairly frequently slightly different (though again
mutually comprehensible), some suffixes are different between the 2,
and vocabulary is different in some cases.

P.S. What you were probably told is that there is mutual
comprehensibility, not that there is no difference. There'd even be
less difference using Arabic alphabet in comparison to Latin alphabet,
but that's a historical alphabet at this time.

Thanks,
Reşat.
