Hi Renato,
On Youtube, search for recordings by either Mustafa Kandirali or Selim Sesler—hear the komma notes and rejoice! Also, there are Turkish produced CDs
around for both of them.
As for getting hold of a Turkish G clarinet, Lark In The Morning is a good (but generally expensive) source that ships internationally. Their G
clarinet is about midway down this page...

Note that they are the older Albert system fingering. At one time, Albert system clarinets were quite common in Eb, C, Bb, and A. It is possible that
you might find one of these in Santiago by looking in second hand stores or in the "backrooms" of long established music stores. If you get one, you
can practice fingerings on it until you get a Turkish G instrument. Be sure it is stamped "LP" for Low Pitch. Otherwise you will find yourself a half
tone sharp to the rest of the band.
Luck,
