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. -Steve
