The copy of your post in the Caspian tiger is appreciated. Can you add the links and check if they're working? We also wouldn't mind an evaluation of the information on tigers in Turkey. Use your own words.  

Also add a title every time you post in this thread in the future, as I need titles in order to produce a good index. This one could be: 'Tigers in eastern Turkey - New information'.   

I know people from that part of Turkey. Many of them hunt or used to. They told me eastern Turkey is a wild region with few people. There are opportunities for lynxes and leopards, but tigers is a different story. We have to wait for more solid information.

There's, however, no doubt about the presence of tigers in the southeastern part of Turkey in the recent past. Here's a photograph of the skin of a young tiger killed near Uludere in 1970:
