I think this video wasn't posted here and imo it gives interesting information about how the ANKA-3 project started. (If i didn't misunderstood the video)
Topic of the video:
Aircraft engineer Berkant Göksel, who lives in Germany, shared a different perspective on China's J-36, the U.S.'s 6th-generation fighter jet F-47, and the
ANKA-3 designed by TUSAŞ. Berkant Göksel explained various technologies used in flying wing designs, particularly plasma-based ones.
Regarding the links mentioned in the video, you can visit Mr. Berkant's LinkedIn page:

Now the interesting part:
"Now, coming to the design of Anka actually, I published two more posts on LinkedIn. People like Kaya Tiftikçi, Kutlu, and Sakarya are involved. Karakoç and others from TÜBİTAK, Kaya from TUSAŞ, Sakarya all of them were involved in a NATO AVT (Applied Vehicle Technology) project. These are aerodynamic and aeroelastic experts. I don’t remember the full names of the AVT programs by heart, but it was called NATO AVT-251. Yes 'Multicon' or something. I’m not sure of the full expansion. Boeing was mentioned. These main concepts of the UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) come from Boeing’s Model 1303 in a way, the mother of these systems."
"This model was developed by Boeing Phantom Works in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. NATO teams, especially Europeans, are the ones further developing this model. The German DLR (German Aerospace Center) is at the forefront. Within the AVT-251 team, companies like Airbus, DLR, DSDL (not sure who they are), FOI from Sweden, the Dutch NLR, TUSAŞ, and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab formed a joint team. Including Turkish participants."
"
So there's a model developed there. I've shared visuals of it before feel free to use them. The final models shown in the last report don’t match the current Anka-3 exactly for example, their wings had a 30-degree angle, ours is less maybe 20 degrees. So our engineers made some variations, but they applied what they learned from that system. The Germans, the Swiss, the Swedes they all discussed and shared, but even the Germans couldn’t build one. Our guys did it. They produced something so quickly, it's honestly amazing."
