I dont want to send lira by mail it takes too long and its not safe. I will send it by moneygram through post office but he can only recieve it in Dollars or Euros.

At the time of writing, 100ytl=$70=£35.50; 100ytl=€53=£35.50.
Therefore it makes no difference to you. In Turkey, there is little difference between Euros and dollars in their perception of usefulness. However, the dollar has recently lost value so may be expected to spring back (or not)!

100 YTL (new Turkish Lira) is worth about £40

100 Lira = € 50 = $ 70 (both approx)

Come on, she wants to send money and you're telling her that it might be a scam. That's none of your business, she's not asking you if she should send or not, she asks how to send the money. What some of the answerers doing is completely rude and immoral.
Doesn't your friend have a bank account? That way easier and safer.By the way ,
100 YTL = 70.08 USD = 53.25 EURO
