 Turkey: Birds of Prey set of 5 stamps issued in 1967
"sah kartal" is given as Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca), but the name "kartal" appears as part of several other eagles, and even the Osprey.
"Kartal" is the common name given for the genus Aquila, and "Dogan" is the common name given for the genus Falco, therefore 130K was definitely never meant to be a harrier.
By size of the creature depicted on 130k, it might not be a saker falcon, but could be a hobby (Falco subbuteo).
