Welcome to the list.  Sorry for the lack of responses to your post.
It's a high traffic list, and sometimes posts fall through.

Have you tried the EXPORT_DATE property?  I believe it'd look something
like this

    * 2015
    ** 2015-09 September
    *** 2015-09-16 Wednesday
    **** İtalyanca Dil Uygulamaları I :2015_2016:ITDE2016:
    :PROPERTIES:
    :EXPORT_DATE: 2015-09-16
    :END:

which you could export using with export scope set to "subtree".
