You do not appear to be a genuine Freemason, for 2 reasons:
1) Any genuine Freemason knows that he can find masonic contact details, if they exist, through his own Grand Lodge and
2) Any genuine Freemason knows that it would fly in the face of genuine masonic principles to encourage people to...
I would counter your statement by saying that nobody has a problem with esoteric Freemasonry but what they do have is have a problem with people who wish to drag all manner of non-Masonic esoteric content into Freemasonry because it is "esoteric" with no basis in Freemasonry.
I have a stock...
Now you have confused me! If you have already asked and been told how to proceed, why are you even here?
The last thing I would add to this is that it is probably going to take longer than three years for those Freemasons to get to know you if you don't actually speak their language.
Well I'm sure that your Turkish will get better the longer you live in Turkey, I'm not sure that I would live in a country without learning the language.

So on the assumption that you have already checked in your local telephone directory it appears there are no publicly available contact details for this Lodge. This will be because this is a Lodge that operates independently and deals direct with HQ in London as there is no District Grand Lodge...
I'd have to agree with the previous comments.
Personally I'd say that if a Lodge cannot fill the Officers' posts it has come to the end of the line and the remaining members should be winding it up and looking for a new Lodge to join preferably en masse.
Quite a bit for "socials" and "Lodges of Instruction/Practice" but more importantly we also visit other Lodges and many English Freemasons are members of multiple Lodges sometimes in various Provinces.
