The Turkpidya Manifesto
A Stranger in a Strange Land
When I arrived in Turkey, I discovered something troubling. The internet offered fragments: tourist guides, breaking news. But authentic knowledge about Turkish culture, history, and daily life? Nearly impossible to find in any language.
The Architect's Decision
What I found was noise. Scattered fragments. Biased reporting. So I decided to build the vault myself. Turkpidya was born not as a website, but as a digital monument to accuracy.
"We don't write articles. We build understanding between civilizations."
