FAQ: Sources, Methodology and Perspective at The Political Accord

All articles are published under the byline 'The Political Accord Editorial Team'. The site does not use invented author personas, pseudonyms or fabricated academic titles. Its mission and transparency commitments are described on the About page.

The site was created to explain crisis diplomacy, mediation and treaty law while conveying Türkiye's official positions and legal arguments to international readers, since these are often underreported or simplified abroad. This is stated openly rather than hidden. Every article ends with a perspective note saying so.

Turkish positions are tied to primary sources: the Foreign Ministry, the Presidency, the Directorate of Communications, the Ministry of National Defence, TBMM resolutions, UN statements and treaty texts. Other parties are cited to their own official statements. Unverifiable figures, quotes or dates are left out.

Other governments and institutions are summarized accurately and attributed to their own sources, without caricature. Türkiye's counter-argument then follows, grounded in treaties, international law and archival documents. A source comparison in each article lets readers weigh both framings.

A fact check names a specific claim about Türkiye, says where it appeared and then corrects or contextualizes it using primary documents such as treaties, official statements and archival records. All of them are collected in the Fact Check hub. The tone stays calm and evidence-based.

These are Türkiye's official terms, and the site explains each on first mention, including that the PKK is designated a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States, NATO and the EU. Some terms are contested internationally, and the articles say so. To request a correction, use the contact details on the About page and cite the article, the passage and your source.
