TL;DR
In Antalya, there's a well-reviewed Turkish-speaking vet named Sevvet near Marcan Antalya who is attentive and explains everything in detail; for export paperwork, check with a local vet whether your home-country certificate (e.g. issued in Russia) meets international standards, since the local Tarim (agriculture) office staff often don't speak English.

Tip for pet owners: what matters isn't the country where the export certificate was issued, but whether it meets international standards (e.g. TRACES/EU format); confirm this directly with a local vet before your flight.
