Lookups for this domain return a SERVFAIL (by definition temporary)
error, there is no authoritative response that the domain does not
exist:

    $ dig -t mx gmail.com.tr

    ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> -t mx gmail.com.tr
    ;; global options: +cmd
    ;; Got answer:

The com.tr domain believes gmail.com.tr exists:

    $ dig -t ns gmail.com.tr @ns1.nic.tr.

    ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> -t ns gmail.com.tr @ns1.nic.tr.
    ;; global options: +cmd

    ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
    gmail.com.tr.           43200   IN      NS      ns2.google.com.
    gmail.com.tr.           43200   IN      NS      ns1.google.com.
    gmail.com.tr.           43200   IN      NS      ns3.google.com.
    gmail.com.tr.           43200   IN      NS      ns4.google.com.

But, google.com does not:

    $ dig +norecur -t ns gmail.com.tr @ns1.google.com

    ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> +norecur -t ns gmail.com.tr @ns1.google.com

I don't know whether this has anything to do with the recent
government mandated DNS redirection in Turkey.
