It worked when I made LANG variable a part of the crontab:

* * * * * LANG=en_US.UTF-8 yourscript.sh

The service name on CentOS is crond, by the way.

Creating /etc/environment actually fixed it.

Quick way to create /etc/environment or /etc/default/locale with your own (as sudo user):

locale > /etc/environment
or
locale > /etc/default/locale

○ → /etc/init.d/cron restart
/etc/environment has been deprecated for locale information; use /etc/default/locale for LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8 instead … (warning).
/etc/environment has been deprecated for locale information; use /etc/default/locale for LANGUAGE=tr_TR.UTF-8 instead … (warning).
/etc/environment has been deprecated for locale information; use /etc/default/locale for LC_ALL=tr_TR.UTF-8 instead … (warning).
Restarting periodic command scheduler: cron.
