I'm afraid not, at least not with the information presented.
For what it's worth, it is working for me correctly:
$ TZ=Europe/Istanbul date; date -u
Tue Nov 22 09:12:55 +03 2016

This is with Ubuntu 16.04.1; I merely did the ordinary software updates for this
platform. Ubuntu had the relevant changes available in its tzdata package
version 2016g-0ubuntu0.16.04 dated 29 Sep 2016 10:03:50 -0600.
