Me neither.  When I eval the above, find a latex file, and then hit
<C-right> I get

  command-execute: Wrong type argument: commandp, my-turn-bidi-on

so the binding is effective, I just don't have your `my-turn-bidi-on'
defined here.

That's a littlebit better because then the keys are set only once and
not every time latex mode is activated but in the end it should have the
very same behavior.  BTW, in more recent emacs versions there's also
`with-eval-after-load' which lets you do the same a bit nicer.
