Don't know of any suppliers direct from Turkey, but I understand your attempt to buy direct from the source. However, I recently read that many Turkish suppliers are using a process that goes beyond kiln drying to accelerate the drying process and get the blanks to market quicker. The caution was that this process left the blanks more unstable and actually leached out natural oils in addition to removing water. Wish I could remember where I read this and maybe someone else could shed more light before you end up with very expensive kindling.
