Great quiz! Kızılırmak is though Turkish for "Red River". Might as well accept Kizil or red for it.

Thank you for this beautiful quiz my friend. As a Turkish, here are some correction suggestions for you: First of all there is nowhere called Turkish Kurdistan, you can use Southeast Anatolia instead of it, or you can use another ancient region something like Cilicia or Licia just like Cappadocia. Secondly you should accept "Malazgirt" for Manzikert. Thirdly, you should accept Mevlana (or Mavlana, Mawlana...) for Djalal ad-Din Rumi.
