Starting from January 1st 2020, Turkish immigration declared that there will be no renewal of tourist residency for expats residing in Turkey except for those who have other reasons to stay.
I wonder how these new regulations will affect expats who are retired in Turkey.

Hi
I could not find the article in this web page. These new regulations appeared in Dec. 2019, stating clearly that renewal of tourist visa for foreigners will not be accepted for the same reason (tourism) starting from January 2020.

Some lawyers said that citizens of EU, USA, Canada, Russia, China and other countries are exempt from this law. Is this true?

Yes. Touristic, short-term residency will not be extended. The Expat needs to find another reason to stay, ie, job permit, buying an apartment, learning Turkish language (strictly Tömer university programs), and for maximum period of 2 years, or for treatment in Turkish hospitals.
