I believe I finally found Urfa pepper seeds, on eBay of all places. A seller based in Urfa Turkey is currently selling the seeds. Put "urfa isot' in the search bar and they should come up. I paid for some and I'm really looking forward to being able to grow the real thing.

All of these are Turkish pepper seed catalogs (in Turkish). A few words that are helpful:
 
Acı = spicy
Balkabağı = pumpkin
Biber = pepper
Beyaz = white
kırmızı = red
Salçalık/salçası = paste
Tatlı = sweet
Tohumu = seeds
Uzun = long
 
Some regions to look for:
 
Antakya/Hatay = Antioch
Halep = Aleppo
Maraş/Kahramanmaraş = Marash
Kapya/Kapadokya = Cappadocia
Sivri
Urfa/Şanlıurfa = Urfa

They pay things the European way, i.e. bank transfers. It's a little bit of a pain from the US, but you do what you gotta do. This guy specializes in local heirlooms.
