Hi Evren Demirkan,
there has been for about one year a turkish root-server:
l.public-root.com
That server did not resolve the ICANN root but The Public-Root.
Until some ISPs in Turkey started selling turkish language toplevel domains
nobody noticed because in the legacy domains ICANN and Public-Root are
compatible.
So the basic story here is not really "Turkey is using a new DNS root,"
but rather, "users of alternate root servers notice alternate root
inconsistency," which is exactly what those opposed to alternate roots
have been predicting.
There's also a real root server in Turkey. According to
www.root-servers.org, there's an anycast copy of i.root-servers.net in
Ankara.
