Turkish society is very hierarchical. It is necessary to mark by sometimes heavy flattery the chance which one has to meet a celebrity, a professor, an imam, a high official or, more simply, a venerable old man. The gesture of raising the head while making a "Tssk!" on the tip of the lips is not contemptuous, despite appearances, it simply means: "No! "
