In 1902 he settled in Izmir. Two years later he went to Egypt and joined the Young Turks there. He published a newspaper there. In 1909 he went on a trip to Europe to promote his idea of ​​establishing a Jewish settlement in Sudan, which he had proposed to The Jewish Territorial Organization. In 1911 he moved to Istanbul.

During the Turkish liberation struggle he translated foreign language press releases every day and handed them over to the state founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and his companions.

From 1915 he worked as a university lecturer and professor at the Darülfünun . He campaigned for the cultural continuity of the republic and opposed the reform of the Turkish language and script, which is why he was expelled from the university staff in 1933.
