I have 52k miles on my AA account but I live in Turkey and there are not many flights from here (just between İstanbul and London) and I can't use them. They are about to expire, what is the most lucrative way to spend them?

If you sign up for AA advantage survey, you can take earn miles through a quick survey. Once the miles post, your expiration date should reset!

There is high fee for transferring miles from account to account so generally wouldn't recommend it (I looked into this route before)

I believe if you use their Shopping portal, you earn miles per dollar spent on select stores online. This will make your account have online activity as you will be earning miles, and therefore the miles will not expire.

Sell them?

I think there are sites or you can offer to sell them here. I’m not sure I’ve never done it but I’d imagine someone sends you venmo and you gift them points

Id buy them

You will get blacklisted from the AA loyalty program if you try to sell them and get caught.

Just use AAdvantage shopping portal, buy the minimum amount of miles, or something else that’ll reset your expiration date.

Book on a oneworld partner? You have BA or likely other oneworld carriers that fly
In (would likely need to connect as not many oneworld partners in Europe).
