The Turkish telecommunications watchdog has announced that the country's engineers are developing an internet search engine and aim to launch it in 2010.
The chairman of Turkey's Information Technologies and Communication Board (BTK), Tayfun Acarer, said that all major search engines used worldwide are based in foreign countries, which is a risk for communications, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported.
“All internet communication data goes to foreign countries and then it returns. This activity has a security aspect,” Acarer noted.
“Existing search engines can not meet Turkey's needs and are sometimes deaf to country's sensitivities,” Acarer said, adding that problems occur because of Turkish letters which do not exist in the standard English version of the Latin alphabet.
“I believe that our search engine will be popular in Turkic countries and Muslim countries, and I am confident that these countries will trust our search engine,” Acarer stated.
He also said that another project, 'the Anaposta', was initiated under the search engine project.
“Under this project, all of our 70 million citizens will be given an e-mail address with a quota of 10 gigabytes. Every child will have an e-mail address written on his/her identity card from birth, and thus will have a mobile network that can be used thanks to ID number match, and foreign networks, such as Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail, will not be used anymore,” he stated.
The software infrastructure of the project has been completed and is now being tested, Acarer explained.
