For mail access to EARN/BITNET nodes from internet, append .bitnet to
the node name. If that doesn't work, then use the TREARN gateway in
Turkey, vm.ege.edu.tr. That is, the address would look like
user%TRNODE.BITNET@vm.ege.edu.tr
Recently, a number of the bitnet nodes converted to internet and
disappeared for good. A list of available internet domains can be found
at URL: http://www.bilkent.edu.tr/
-> Is there any electronic mail list for discussions related to Turkish
people/culture etc.?
Yes, there are plenty, and the list below does not claim to be complete,
however, the most important ones should be covered by these. We will
not express a preference for this or that list, try them out to find the
ones that suit your taste.
However, The 'haberler' list at trmetu.bitnet and Turkish Radio Hour
News List (trknws-l) and are important for keeping up with the recent
news and therefore should be mentioned here. The 'haberler'
subscription is free, and trknws-l subscription via e-mail costs
$10/year. 'haberler' can be subscribed to just like the other listserv
distribution lists as mentioned below. For trknws-l, you have to send a
request to hq.ggg@forsythe.stanford.edu instead of a listserv address
for subscription and more information.
Also, please note that Mcimail is offering a special e-mail subscription
under TURKNEWS grouprate. The first year costs $15, and $25 thereafter.
Contact Bret Fisherkeller or Terri Malone at (510) 945-0491 for details
on the TURKNEWS group rate. You need a modem, a computer with
communications software or a terminal to use this service. Access is
available by calling an 800 number.
Other lists can be summarized (not complete) as follows:

HISTORY
......................................................................
Turkish history is a very long subject to include here. There are
several frequently asked questions on this issue. We allocated a
directory (/pub/users/cosar/history) at ftp.cs.umn.edu for this
purpose. There are articles including recently posted Oztuna articles
and excerpts from Coles. You may contact to cosar@cs.umn.edu, if you
would like to upload any information on this topic. Here is a partial
list of the files available.

This section is provided by Ahmet Cosar
Archive-name: auto/soc.culture.turkish/Turkish-Poetry-in-ftp-cs-umn-edu
There is a new directory in ftp.cs.umn.edu named
"/pub/users/cosar/literature"
where you can find about 70 Turkish Poems, some as English translations.
If you have any more Turkish Poetry/Story ready in electronic form
please mail them to cosar@mail.cs.umn.edu to be added to the archive
for public benefit.
I also put an older list of Turkish Student Associations to the archive
but it's not publicly readable since it might be considered private
information. If you send me an e-mail asking for a specific University's
Turkish Student Association I can mail you the contact address of the
person in charge or forward your request to them if an e-mail address
is available.
