I am afraid you are grossly mistaken there.
The difficulty level of building an ICBM is exponentially more difficult than building SRBMs which we have so far been building.
Also it is claimed that Yildirimhan is supposed to be single stage. Currently there are no modern single stage liquid fuelled ICBMs. They are now obsolete as they are dangerous and posess operational difficulties.
Multi stage ICBMs are more complex to build. They need a great deal of specialised engineering know how.

Designing an ICBM is widely considered one of the most difficult engineering challenges, combining advanced propulsion, guidance, materials science, and physics under extreme constraints.
Managing flight characteristics in airless space, then flight for a while to reach apogee followed by re entry in to atmosphere is no easy task.
Guidance accuracy after having travelled 5500+km and releasing decoys in space are not the same as what you encounter with SRBMs.

During reentry the heat management and keeping structural integrity is a problem in its own right.

To reach such long distances, the booster mass may have to be 100 times bigger than the payload. Plus the rocket engines will have to be ultra efficient.
Testing is expensive and difficult due to international pressures.
The whole missile is just very very expensive to develop and manufacture.

What I have understood is, that we build a MRBM with Cenk already.
About the fuel, we have managed liquid fuel, if I am not mistaken.
About the Yildirimhan, it is expected to have a multi stage engine and not single stage.
