Turkish ingredients

Does anyone know a store in Queens that sells ethnic Turkish ingredients? I am specifically looking for biber salcasi (pepper paste) and Urfa biber (crushed red pepper).

    You might try Mt Ararat in Bayside. They have a nice selection of Middle Eastern spices. Not sure about Turkish, call first.

        If you go to Sunnyside (by the Queens Boulevard 7 train stops, between 33rd and 40th streets), there's a small Turkish community. Can't recall the names right now, but there's a few pan-Arab/Turkish stores around.
