If you have the Computers and the Humanities journal available from your library
have a look at one of the 1994 issues. There's an article about Greek corpora
and other resources there and you can get information about people who
might have frequency wordlists.

For the Greek counts, try Philip King, School of English, University
of Birmingham. He's working on a corpus of Greek. I haven't got his e-
mail handy, sorry.

Concerning Greek frequency lists: I do not know of any official existing
ones. The only one I know is a list of the 30,000 most frequent lemmas we
extracted from a subset of our corpus (2,250,000 words' running text) for
the purpose of aiding the compilation of the lemma list of a bilingual Greek
-Danish dictionary.This list extraction was part of a joint project of the
Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP) and the Aarhus School of
Business but it is not freely available.

More references for you on Turkish frequency counts:
1. I have the frequency counts of OZTURK CORPUS which is
a collection of 1000 Turkish texts collected from the Turkish
Community Newspapers in Austrlia.
2. The earliest frequency counts of Turkish words were computed in
early '60s by Joe Pierce. Here's the bibliography:
