Happy New Year! March-April was the real "New Year" of the ancient peoples. Related to the beginning of the agricultural year.
“ ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi. ”

It was never really celeberated in Turkey among majority of the Turks. This site says that for example the Zazas in Turkey didn't use to celebrate it

It's celebrated mainly by people that were influenced by Persians. Central Asian Turks celebrate it cause of Persian influence. Anatolia wasn't as influenced by Persians so it didn't become popular there. Armenians also used to celebrate Nowruz cause of Persian influence. Indic Shias also celebrate Nowruz cause of Persian influence. Not all Pashtuns celebrate Nowruz either, only Shias and those in Afghanistan (likely cause of the Persian influence in Afghanistan on Pashtuns there). And the Nowruz celebrated by Afghanistani Pashtuns is said to be much tamer in comparison to that celebrated by ethnic Persians (Tajiks). Afghanistan didn't even used to have things like the Chaharshanbe Suri till Hazara refugees from Iran brought it back with them, and that tradition still isn't done by Central Asian Turks. There's also Hajji Firuz who's specific to Iranian Nowruz.
And the word Nowruz (as well as names of traditions within it like Chaharshanbe Suri, Haft-sin, etc.) are all words of specifically Persian origin. They're not native words in the languages of other cultures that celebrate Nowruz (Kurdish, Kazakh, Uzbek, Pashto, etc.) but Persian loanwords in those languages. So modern Nowruz seems to be just a Persian holiday that spread with Persian influence, not Pan-Turkic or even Pan-Iranian. I think its likely that all Iranic people had a similar holiday ("Spring New Year") many centuries ago, but then they died out and got replaced with the local Persian variation. Those other variants that died out may have been similar to the Iranian/Persian version (or maybe even very different, not sure). But Nowruz is basically just a celebration of the arrival of Spring, which is common in countless cultures. The Indian version of it is Holi and the Chinese New Year is basically the Chinese version. The native Turkic equivalent to Nowruz is called Yılgayak, which isn't celebrated by Turks anymore.

Noruz/Newruz translates to "New Day" in Iranian. And it's the new year's holiday which begins on spring equinox.
