Ah, but isn't that assuming that the supply centre in question was
already under the control of another player? In this case, Bulgaria was
neutral before Turkey went in. 

* jonah checks the rules

"Once a country gains control of a supply center, it can leave the
center vacant and still keep control of it as long as that center is not
occupied by another country at the close of the Fall turn."

So I guess the question is: Did Turkey gain control of Bulgaria's supply
centre in spring 1901? The rules state:

"A country controls a supply center when one of its units occupies that
supply center after a Fall turn has been played and completed."

Since we have not yet completed an "Fall" turn in this game, I submit
that Turkey has not yet gained control of the Bulgarian supply centre
and would therefore have to leave a unit there in order to do so.

So yeah, what James said.
