Wait, the example above does engender a non-intended paragraph, take a look at section 1, the paragraph starts with:

Leave no man behind!
What did you expect?
I adapted your preamble and used the blindtext package to typeset an example document.localghost wrote:The first paragraph after a heading is never indented.

Hariç konjonktürün de tesiriyle Tek Fırka rejimi 1946'da
demokratikleşmeyi kabul ettikten sonra, cumhuriyetin müessisinin
öteden beri demokrasiyi hedeflemiş olduğunu ispatlamaya hususi
bir ehemmiyet verilmiştir. 1926-1945 seneleri arasında hemen
hemen hiç hissedilmemiş olan bu enteresan sav, ilk defa İnönü'nün
1.11.1945 tarihli TBMM açış münakaşasında dile getirilmişö ve
bilahare Kemalist fikir tarihine malolmuştur

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
Re: Why is the first paragraph not indented in this document
I've just discovered indentation settings vary according to the language. For instance, I was expecting an indentation on first paragraph as in French and Serbian, but instead, Turkish, just like English doesn't want such indentation. So, my question is moot.
Please, I apologize for the inconvenience I've caused you. Thank you anyway for your help.
