It wasn't Xerxes, but Cyrus the Great. Xerxes became a king of Persia in 486 BC, when the whole territory of modern Turkey had been conquered by Persians

I've never heard of Qibla before. I knew that Muslims prey towards Mecca, but I didn't know that there's a special name for the direction.

Seriously? I thought everyone knew their directions. Turn right at Cairo, then travel 1685 km due Qibla.

Basic Islam vocabulary, though doesn't have anything to do with Turkey specifically. But Q answers are hard to come up with.

I think you should add some other well-known football clubs as possible answers. The first club that I tried was Gençlerbirliği.

Although I am Turkish, I did not know some of them.

It's ridiculous that you included the Persian and Byzantine emperors here.
