Here is the code.

<table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="15px" style="width:95%; height:100%">  <tr valign="middle">	<td>		  <table border="1" width="100%" align="center"><tr>		<td><p align="center">Ana Sayfa</p></td>		<td><p align="center">Soldat Nedir?</p></td>		<td><p align="center">Server Kurulumu ve Yönetimi</p></td>		<td><p align="center">İletişim</p></td>	  </tr></table>	</td>  </tr></table>

The <p> element, in standard compliant browsers, has margin above and below it.Don't use a <p> element there. <p> elements are for paragraphs, and it's incorrect to use them for anything else.If you want to center the text in the table cell, use CSS on the <td> element. If you don't know CSS, there's a tutorial on W3Schools for that.

Even with transitional (X)HTML you can use the align attribute on the <td> element. But since we promote and aim for strict (X)HTML, your code should look something like this:

<table border="1" cellpadding="15" style="width:95%; height:100%; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto">  <tr style="vertical-align: middle">    <td>          <table border="1" style="width: 100%; text-align:center">       <tr>        <td>Ana Sayfa</td>        <td>Soldat Nedir?</td>        <td>Server Kurulumu ve Yönetimi</td>        <td>İletişim</td>      </tr></table>    </td>  </tr></table>

Nested tables are a bad idea.

But align doesn't provide anything useful to the <td> and it just adds more mark-up to the document. Using CSS you can save bandwidth and loading times by putting all the presentation into a stylesheet rather than scattered all over the HTML document. And stylesheets are cached by browsers.

How can I use the align attribute on CSS without <p> or other elements...Thank you. :)

In a CSS stylesheet you write

td { text-align: center }

You should look at the W3Schools CSS tutorial. CSS can be applied to any element.

Ovvv, I am understanding now. :) You just said external stylesheet cached by browser so don't use inline style... bla bla...Ok, thanks. :)

align is an HTML attribute that is deprecated, used like this:
<td align="center">

text-align is a CSS property, it can be used in an external stylesheet (recommended), or posted inline like this:

<td style="text-align: center;">
