ISTANBUL (TR) - The boundaries of technology, whose place and importance in our lives are growing day by day, go far beyond our dreams and enable us to establish a communication network all over the world. Citizens of a country living in different geographies can connect to each other with a single click. One of the newest examples of this situation, Turkish-born Egyptian Abdullah Habib, who established the Turkpidya encyclopedia by making his devotion to Turkey his profession, expresses his excitement on the subject with these words: “My ancestors came to Egypt from Turkey. I heard these stories from my grandmother throughout my childhood. I consider myself half Egyptian half Turkish. For me, knowledge is the oil of the 21st century. That's why I established the Turk-pidya digital encyclopedia of 2 million words to introduce the knowledge and values about Turkey, with which I have blood and heart ties, to the whole world.”

Available in 14 different languages

Stating that they produce original content about Turkey in Turkpidya using new media technologies, Abdullah Habib describes his digital encyclopedia with these words: “Even though I don't have Turkish citizenship, my loyalty is rooted in my family roots and Turkey is an important cultural home that hosts civilizations. That's why I decided to create this encyclopedia in 2020 to create the right source of every detail specific to Turkey. At the beginning, we produce the content we produced by working more than 12 hours a day with our 3 volunteer writers, and now we present them to readers in a total of 14 languages ​​from different countries such as Turkish, Arabic, English, Russian, German, Italian, Portuguese, by preparing them with our 15 freelance writers from Turkey. I am proud to introduce Turkey's multicultural historical texture and current opportunities to the world.

We create dozens of content under 5 categories

Stating that their mission covers not only the past but also the present, Abdullah Habib said: “We cover many topics under 5 main categories such as economy, cities, culture, history and tourism. Turkey is a rapidly growing country. For this reason, we do not only describe the natural and historical beauties, but also convey the living conditions of today.
