Is there such a thing as "Godmother" in Turkey?

I call my friend's mother as "Anne" and she is like my mother for me... should I call her my "god-mother"? or is there a term in Turkish that can describe our relationship? Thanks in advance!

I believe that in this situation, many people use the term for Aunt...Teyze - maternal Aunt or Hala - paternal Aunt. I call my friends mother Teyze and she likes that. I did ask her permission first, though.

Thank you!
But I call my friend's aunt "Teyze" already...
I guess I may just keep calling her "Anne" then...
