Your examples got me very interested, zippy, so I looked it up for myself. As you said, there don't seem to be web pages directly addressing the similarities between Turkish and Latin grammar. I did however, find a short paper someone wrote on similarities they noticed between Hungarian (and agglutinative languages in general) and classic latin. He did a good comparison that was interesting to read.

His conclusion was that while classic latin appears to be much more similar in structure to agglutinative languages than it is to today's Romance languages, there is no real evidence that the they are related. I've included the link.
