The Turkish Post was a daily newspaper with an editorial office in Istanbul . The regular first edition appeared after daily sample numbers had been issued from May 17, 1926, on June 1 of the same year in the publishing house of Ritgen & Co. The newspaper initially served as an organ of the German-Turkish Association ( Berlin ) and the Turkish-German Chamber of Commerce ( Frankfurt am Main ), later also the German Chamber of Commerce in Vienna . The target group were mainly Germans living abroad in Istanbul and Ankara , as well as German-speaking Turks and Bulgarians, with a particular focus on officers and scientists in Turkey and neighboring countries.
The Turkish Post initially served as a pure news paper that was intended to promote exports. Five years after the newspaper was founded, the circulation was given as 1400-3000 copies. At that time the Turkish Post was able to fall back on a small network of correspondents in Berlin, Athens , Jaffa and Cairo (temporarily also Sofia ). A special economic edition was also published on the 1st and 15th of each month.
During the time of National Socialism , the paper came under the control of Max Amann , who monopolized the foreign newspapers, which were supplemented by occupation newspapers during the Second World War , in his Europa-Verlag .
Like the other foreign and occupation newspapers, the Turkish Post was also discontinued in the course of the increasingly unfavorable war situation; precise information on this is missing, it was still published at least until 1944.
