Aligning the LOT and LOF captions

Question

I try to align the captions in the LOT and LOF flush left. I had to add a word before the table and figure numbers. After I added these I could not make it flush left as you can see here LOT-LOF on the pictures. You can also find my MWE below. I tried some solutions given on this website like Table of contents: section titles ragged right . More specifically, I want to align the 2 row entry in LOT (asal) to "Costas". How can I make it?

Here is the MWE:

Hi, it is not really clear what you want to do. Please explain your "flugh left". Do you want the last row of your left image to be flushed left or aligned to "costas"? You code is far away from 'minimal' Please reduce it as much as you can. We need just too ToC entries which show this effect. Thanks. — LaRiFaRi, Dec 02 '14 at 09:29
@LaRiFaRi Yes, I want to flush left the caption entries in LOT and LOF which are for more than one row. According to picture I want to align the second row to "Costas". I actually know hat this MWE is long but I put all the preamble because something in there may affect the solution. — silent_man, Dec 02 '14 at 10:07
@FatihGÜLEÇ It may effect it. You are right. So delete every line until you find the culprit part. In best case, you will see the error and fix it by your self. And if not, you will post some 10 lines code and we will help you rapidly. — LaRiFaRi, Dec 02 '14 at 10:26

The problem is that you were abusing \cftfigfont and \cfttabfont to add the strings Şekil and Çizelge, respectively to the lists; to get the proper alignment, you need to do something like

\renewcommand\cfttabpresnum{Çizelge }
\newlength\mytablen
\settowidth\mytablen{\cfttabpresnum\cfttabaftersnum}
\addtolength\cfttabnumwidth{\mytablen}

\renewcommand\cftfigpresnum{Şekil }
\newlength\myfiglen
\settowidth\myfiglen{\cftfigpresnum\cftfigaftersnum}
\addtolength\cftfignumwidth{\myfiglen}
