define 'real newsreader'...... as opposed to what??

A newsreader connects to a news server, which is
how all these articles are propagated. Usenet is in
no way affiliated with Google Groups, which is, most
simply, a parasitic web site that copies all the posts
from usenet and repuplishes them on the web.

Usenet is... Well, let's do this the easy way...

is there a choice? i joined through google groups...
was there another way to do it?

Use a news reader to connect to a news server.
USUALLY, your ISP provides a news server for you to use.
Not being able to read turkish, I don't know for certain,
but there IS a machine named news.ttnet.net.tr so I'd bet
a Chinese dinner that you can connect with that address.

As to newsreaders... You're using Firefox, so there's
no embedded news capability with that. If you were using
Mozilla, there's a built-in newsreader, albeit not
particularly user friendly in the eyes of this Unix geek.
Thunderbird is apparently the Firefox e-mail sidekick
which also has support for news, so that might be a good
bet for you... similar look and feel, I'd imagine.

If you'd like to try something outside the typical Windows
user's experience, something like slrn (the one I use) might
appeal to you (screenshot on my machine):
