What is "the average" here? How did you calculate it?
The statistic you shared is from the OECD. It only includes 38 countries and these countries are rather developed countries. (Actually, even Türkiye being in OECD proves that we're not as bad as you think)Probably the best measurement for intelligence is your level of education. It has it's flaws but there isn't a better way to calculate something like this for big masses of people.
According to the statistics like 15- 17% of Turks know English (even less people know any other foreign language too)... Of those 17% a huge part is people who are at very basic levels of proficiency. So like 90% of the population has no real access to information, to foreign news sources, to foreign knowledge and know how.
You will tell me what is the percentage of people in Turkey with a Secondary and higher secondary education? What about these with a bachelors degree etc?
This is the statistics from 10 years ago for those between 25 and 34 but let's say that now it is better:

What if you include those over 40-50-60 years old etc? You start to see the picture.
Finishing high school is something pretty average when it comes to education and I am not even talking about the quality of secondary schools where Turkey is behind developed and many developing countries too.
Yes Turkey is below the world average in education and hence in intelligence too... Or at least behind the part of the world that matters.
Eh, these are the countries Turkey trade with and compete against the most in most venues. Business, trade, economics, building, sports, anything. Of course Turkey shouldn't be compared to Sub Saharan, Central Asian or Latin American countries. It's a country of 85 million with near 1T GDP. OECD is our league. There's a reason why every other developing country wants to join the group.The statistic you shared is from the OECD.

I'm pretty confident that Türkiye is above the average in everything you mentioned, considering the world is not just about OECD or developed countries.
Not saying we're the best. It is just factually not correct that we're below the average.

without marriage its even ok 9 and 9 or 10, 10 and 10 or 12, 11 and 12, 11 and 14 nada! 12 and 15 nono! 15 and 18 nono.. but ok if 15 and 17... dont ask this logic..It's not just Muslim countries, across most nations the age of consent is between 14-18. Forget countries, you can have age of consent varying by state.
Germany, Italy, Austria and Portugal for example all have it at 14. There are even exceptions going as low as 12 if both the boy and the girl are under 18.
