Turkish fig resources and papers

After reading through the very interesting thread "Seeking Turkish Figs," I thought that I would make a separate posting to include some papers that I have encountered from Turkey and reference website or two.

EDIT note - I noticed that for some reason some of the links do not work when clicking on them - just copy and past the URL since all links were valid the other day when I checked them.

Erbeyli İncir Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü (Figs Research Institute with ERBEY) - Turkish fig research site in Turkey.  Also has some information on poultry.   This is the best site in Turkey that I have located.    The best part is a description of the fig varities, dried and table varieties (Sarılop, Sarı Zeybek, Bursa Siyahı, Yeşilgüz, Morgüz, Göklop, Bardakçı,  Siyah Orak,  and Beyaz Orak.   There is cultural information, disease information, etc.   http://www.erbeyliincir.gov.tr/index.html          The catalogue is here -
