I could not find that document but I found that the gazetteer Roman used
was prepared as part of a UN Group Of Experts on Geographical Names
(UNGEGN) program trying to achieve standardization of geographical names.
Mr. Ulgen will most probably have valuable information on the use of those
gazettee
The link from HGK prohibits the redistribution of maps, Roman is right on
that aspect. The Geographic Names Gazetteer is most probably bound by
different terms and conditions.
The use of the gazetteer is bound by the order of Turkish Armed Forces in
2009, as stated in the link:

I wrote about this subject already to the list in September 2011:

I just used
http://www.hgk.msb.gov.tr/urunler/diger/gazetteer/Turkey_and_Neighborhood_GAZ_00_ing.xls
for the place names of villages and mountains -
No, if they’re not clean, they need to be removed. They can’t be kept around
and confirmed. Also, hiding and making visible contradict each other. Before
using General Directorate of Highways maps you need to confirm that the license
grants the necessary permissions.

Paul,
It also says in the link you sent that, to distribute the data to third
parties would be available via the consent of the map owners and paying
them loyalties.
But I still suggest finding another source we can use and change the tags.

Hello,
HGK prohibits every action besides personal use of the purchased maps, so
using HGK data as a source is wrong.
However, there are other sources such as the road maps of Turkish General
Directorate of Highways that we may be able to check and confirm those
place names and change the source
Dear Paul,
Yes, HGK is the acronym for General Command of Mapping and I guess that
they won't permit this situation.
H. Can Ünen and me are going to try finding some official answers as soon
as possible.
Thanks for your warning.
Best,
Murat
