How much would a young Turkish male need to earn per month or per week to be able to live in Turkey? What would be the minimum he could survive on and what would he need to live comfortably?

It depends on location and circumstances. A single person living with parents wouldn't need very much. A single person paying for accommodation would need more. Someone with dependents would need more again.
Rent in the major cities probably starts at 400 ytl a month, unfurnished.
Food (minimum) 350 ytl a month (some jobs provide free lunch/luncheon vouchers)
Bills 75 ytl a month
Transport 100 ytl " " (some jobs provide free service buses)
MINIMUM net monthly earnings therefore look to be about 1000ytl a month but this would fund a very basic existence only.
Realistically, to allow for a social life and a few luxuries, 2000 ytl a month is an acceptable minimum income.

Good but relative question. Every people will say different answers for "the minimum to survive" and "to live comfortably".
500-1,500 YTL per month would be the minimum to survive
1,500-3,000 YTL would be good to live
3,000 YTL and more means a comfortable life for a young Turkish male.

I am English & live in Turkey, I can live easy on about £30 a week, £100 per month. The govenment figures are, average wage £22 per week, govenment minimum wage in Turkey is 380YTL, the exchange rate it 2.8 today so thats about £136 per month. Its very cheap to live here & many people live on next to nothing.

If you're planning to give money then you're a fool. A lot less then it does to live over here.
