Hi, Ahmed,
I hope you and your family are well and that you have been safe and healthy during the COVID years!
I wanted to try to further explain Rene's point about the importance of statistics and Voynichese. There are certain properties of Voynichese that must be explained if a solution is to be credible. One of the most important is the difference between "Language A" and "Language B". Another is the improbably high number of occurrences of EVA [p] and [f] in the toplines of paragraphs as opposed to elsewhere in a paragraph. Many of these properties are listed here (and elsewhere on Rene's website):

Eventually you will need to be able to show how writing Turkic using VMS characters leads to these particular properties. You may not have enough of the manuscript "translated" to answer those questions yet, but at some point it will be very important to show how/if your method explains these and other known properties of Voynichese.
I hope that is a helpful clarification.
