Try this:

var info = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Turkey Standard Time");
DateTimeOffset localServerTime = DateTimeOffset.Now;
DateTimeOffset localTime= TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(localServerTime, info);

You can get Turkey time this way:

 // Get time in local time zone 
 DateTime thisTime = DateTime.Now;
 Console.WriteLine("Time in {0} zone: {1}",
        TimeZoneInfo.Local.IsDaylightSavingTime(thisTime) ?
        TimeZoneInfo.Local.DaylightName : TimeZoneInfo.Local.StandardName, thisTime);
 Console.WriteLine("   UTC Time: {0}",
        TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(thisTime, TimeZoneInfo.Local));

 // Get GTB Standard Time zone - (GMT+02:00) Athens, Istanbul, Minsk
 TimeZoneInfo tst = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("GTB Standard Time");
 DateTime tstTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(thisTime, TimeZoneInfo.Local, tst);      
 Console.WriteLine("Time in {0} zone: {1}",
        tst.IsDaylightSavingTime(tstTime) ?
        tst.DaylightName : tst.StandardName, tstTime);
 Console.WriteLine("   UTC Time: {0}",
        TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(tstTime, tst));
