Have you tried clearing cache,data,force stop Google pay

 

[me just saying]

too many gift cards codes get stolen. there is always a chance it happened to the card you sent your friend. your friend will have to contact google because there is nothing anyone here can do or you can do. navigate the following to get to a contact page though it may not work in turkey.

Welcome to Android Central! Also, did you purchase a Google Play gift card meant for Turkey, or was it meant for the country where you live? I believe that gift cards need to be for the country where they'll be redeemed.
