[Talk-tr] HGK source

[H. Can Unen]

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
gazetteers, given his involvement in the UN, and I don't think the use of
the gazetteer would be limited.
