Authorities are moving to seal off the region where the outbreak occurred.
Turkish veterinary authorities are trying to contain an outbreak of avian influenza reported in the Black Sea province of Zonguldak Monday.
Agriculture Ministry officials issued a statement late Monday saying that bird flu had been discovered in poultry on a farm in the village of Saz, after samples had been taken from birds on Saturday.
It has yet to be determined if the bird flu is the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus or a less dangerous strain of avian influenza.
Authorities are working to limit the spread of the virus by setting up a quarantine zone around the Saz region.
Turkey’s last major outbreak of avian influenza was in 2006, when at least four people dying after contracting the virus and dozens more being hospitalized. Turkish authorities were forced to cull more than one million domestic fowl.
