FAQ: Sources, Methodology and Perspective at World Agenda Review

Articles are published under the byline "World Agenda Review Editorial Team". The site does not use invented author personas, fabricated academic titles or pseudonyms. Details about the team's mission and transparency commitments are on the About page.

The site was created to explain global and regional affairs in accessible English while conveying Türkiye's official positions, legal arguments and historical claims, which it considers underrepresented in international coverage. It states this purpose openly rather than presenting itself as a neutral outlet. Readers should treat it as one clearly labeled viewpoint within a wider debate.

Each point in these sections is tied to a primary source, such as the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidency, the Directorate of Communications, Turkish statements at the UN, parliamentary resolutions or treaty texts. The legal and historical basis, for example the 1936 Montreux Convention or Article 51 of the UN Charter, is explained alongside. The wording always attributes the view to Türkiye, for example "Ankara argues" or "According to the Turkish Foreign Ministry".

Background, chronology and data are written in neutral, factual prose, and Türkiye's assessments appear only in the labeled position section. Other states and parties are summarized with attribution to their own official sources and without caricature. A strong Turkish argument is meant to rest on documents, not on distorting the other side.

World Agenda Review follows Türkiye's official terminology, including "Türkiye", "FETÖ", "PKK/YPG", "TRNC / Turkish Cypriots" and "Events of 1915". Terms that may be unfamiliar are explained on first mention; for example, the PKK is designated a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States, NATO and the European Union. Other governments and media may use different terms, and we note this where it matters.
