Awwwh… Just tried playing the quiz and it surely seems I know very little about Turkey. May be this should be a reason why I should visit Turkey soon . I scored only 200 out of 800. Not even a pass mark. But I am glad that I took part. Thank you for arranging the quiz @NareshDarji . Looking forward to seeing the answers and the winners.
