Please note that I have created a new discussion on the Turkey forum as you were off topic :|

You may have a look at the Living in Turkey guide to get some information.

You need to be a Turkish citizen to qualify for a passport from that country. You would first need to reside in the country for 5 years and then apply for naturalization, meet all the requirements to become a citizen and only then could you apply for a passport.
