This variety looks very similar to some of the figs I ate in northern Iraq.  Does anyone have info on it?  Most interested if it can be verified that it is in fact self pollinating?

Never heard of it until it showed up on Ebay.

There's no telling if this source is correct but it says the Bardacik is a Smyrna, needing pollination (note: this is a translation so it's not the best but the idea comes across):

1. Smyrna type (smirniaca): Only after fertilization the figs mature. To this group the important sorts belong ‚to Sari praise (Smyrna, Calimyrna)‚ Kassaba and Bardacik.
2. Adriati type (hortensis): The fruits develop parthenokarp, why these sorts to be today preferred: Dottato and Trojano from Italy, Fraga from Spain, Adriatic and mission from California.
3. The San Pedro type (intermedia) an intermediate position takes, there the first fruit generation without, which forms second however only with dusting fruits. These sorts are important commercially few.^[6]

According to the seller the figs don't need a wasp and are red on the inside.

Sort of like not needing rain in Seattle, right? The wasp is all over Turkey and good luck trying to keep them out of figs! The seller cannot know unless it has been grown where there are no native fig wasps.

Caprifigs are self pollinating (seller says Bardacik is too), common do not require any pollination. I would pass because it is probably a Smyrna.

Unfortunately; Sue's post says it all...
[Try digging up some fig history about both (S)myrna/(Cali)myrna fig names - I once did, quite a surprise...]

I googled it and couldn't find anything relelvant except the ebay listing.

On page 346 of Condit's "Fig Varieties: A Monograph" the "Bardajic (syns. Bardajik, Bardakjik)" is listed under "Smyrna-type Figs with Skin Green or Yellow; Pulp Various Shades of Red". I'm thinking the difference in spelling, a "C" in place of the "J" is an issue of translation?

I was sent two cuttings last year from turkey labeled bardicik wich I killed both. What I was told at that time was that in most of turkey figs are called Incir but in Izmir and most of anatolia region they are simply called bardacik even though bardacik appears to be a known variety. Confusing for sure alliok1 posted pictures of this fig last year I believe he lives in turkey maybe he can chime in.

I have the bardacik fig and  it is  self  pollinating.

Tates, what was your source?

I'm a member of the Turkish Fig website. I got all my sources from them. They all grow this kind of figs on back home. 

Well then you must have the real deal that's great. I'm not familiar with the Turkish fig site. Is it in Turkish or english?

Yes i have real one bardacik fig and patlican fig  for now
 take  a look at this site http://www.basakfidancilik.com/urun_list.asp?KAT=15 
i  need this  . i will have  soon .

Turkish fig site. It is  Turkish  only

Izmir bardacik is a common type does not require pollination to mature. 

It's all greek to me if it isn't in english lol

Hi Tates,
Could you please tell me how would the word acik translate into English. I have a pomegranate variety from Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan with the name of Kai-Acik Anor. I know that anor is pomegranate, but I do not know how to translate the first two words.
Thanks.

Hi Boris  ACIK  ANOR  means  light  color pomegranate KAI means type of pomegranate.
