Iam trying to extract turkey zoneinfo from "tzdata2016i.tar.gz" package and is not successfully.
What are you trying to extract and for what purpose? In what way is it not successful? What symptoms of failure are you seeing? Does zic produce error messages or not produce files and directories with files under your destination directory?
I have done the following to extract turkey zone info:
zic -d ./mytemp/ asia zic -d ./mytemp/ europe
Turkey should be either in Europe or in Asia.
Have you tried browsing the asia and europe files in an editor and searching for "Turkey"? Run the included tzselect script to find zones associated with Turkey. Timezones do not use country names, they use the name of the largest urban population centre in the region. Look in your target directory for names you may associate with Turkey.

Please provide me with your support in this regard.
The zoneinfo files compiled by zic are binary files for use by programs and their contents are documented in the man page for tzfile(5). The source file format and contents are documented in the man page for zic(8). Please read the Theory file provided with the source to understand how to use tzdata and zoneinfo.
