As a first facility of TAC, 3-250 μm IR-FEL facility (TARLA) based on superconducting accelerator with an energy of maximum 40 MeV is under construction at Institute of Accelerator Technologies of Ankara University. In addition to TARLA, Conceptual/Technical Design Report of a third generation synchrotron radiation facility based on 3 GeV, and a fourth generation FEL facility based 1-6 GeV is being prepared for the next steps of TAC. Therewithal a proton accelerator facility with up 2 GeV and an electronpositron collider as a super charm factory are proposed within the frame of TAC project. In this presentation, current status of TARLA project and main goals, road map of Turkish Light Sources will be explained.
