New Istanbul Airport and 1 hour for change from domestic flight to international flight

New Istanbul Airport and 1 hour for change from domestic flight to international flight - Low angle of engines and wing of modern aircraft in docking station on sunny day

So I will have exactly one hour between flights on IST airport. Different reservations, no guarantee for missed flight.

Turkish Airlines domestic inbound 16:30 <-> LOT Polish Airlines international outbound 17:30

The question is will I make it?

Do anybody know if it is easy and relatively quick to change after arrival or is there a need to leave and re-enter the whole facility? What about passport checks? From what I checked there are no seperate terminals between domestic and international flights so I think that I will arrive in common area so in theory it should be easy to change the gate (+go through passport control)

Any tips and experiences shared here will be greatly appreciated!
