The newspaper was closed in 2014 by a law of the AKP government by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as the press agency, which was subordinate to the Deputy Prime Minister, withdrew from the distribution program without prior notice for the distribution of advertising income, which is of vital importance to the newspapers.
