Hi there.

I can only tell you one of these routes having done it about 10 days ago.

Erzurum - Anakara. 925km pretty much perfect tarmac all the way. Little traffic until close to Ankara. Very beautiful scenery at times in places - even the vast nothingness of the central plateau. Mainly straightish roads. Not much in the way of twisty tarmac heaven.
