You can access the official website at: http://istanbul2012.tsf.org.tr/en/ The organising committee has started the process for obtaining visas and the website is being updated with all the latest information about the big chess event.

The Chess Olympiad is the principal team contest organised by FIDE. The Olympiad is held regularly at two year intervals in the autumn of the even numbered years (2006, 2008, etc.).
