Türkiye (German Turkey ), often called Türkiye Gazetesi , is a Turkish daily newspaper based in Istanbul . In the late 1980s / early 1990s it was the country's top-selling newspaper . Currently (as of January 2017) it ranks sixth on the list of the highest-circulation Turkish newspapers . It is considered to be close to the Justice and Recovery Party (AKP) and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan .
The best-known authors are Rahmi Er, Fuat Uğur and editor-in-chief İsmail Kapan. Many Türkiye authors can often be seen as commentators on the news channel TGRT Haber . There are also numerous overlaps with the İhlas news agency from the same company.
Ownership
Türkiye was founded on April 22, 1970 by the entrepreneur Enver Ören (1936–2013). In 1993, Ören's various companies were merged under the umbrella of İhlas Holding . In 2003 the media division, which at that time included the TGRT TV station , the İhlas news agency and several newspapers and magazines in addition to the Türkiye , was organized in the İhlas Yayın Holding . In addition to the media industry , the parent company İhlas Holding is now active in the construction , real estate and energy sectors.
history
Türkiye appeared under the name Hakikat (truth) until March 1972 and as an evening newspaper until 1980. At that time it settled on the right edge of the political spectrum, it was strongly nationalist , conservative and Islamic . In 1978, Türkiye was the first Turkish daily to start selling over the counter, with the publisher Ören being inspired by the Japanese daily Asahi Shimbun .
Relatively unaffected by the effects of the military coup of 1980 , Türkiye rose to become one of the country's leading newspapers with a series of innovative measures. In 1981 the company set up its own print shop and switched to offset printing . A few years later, the publisher had its own printing machines manufactured and successively opened printing locations in Ankara , Adana , Erzurum , Samsun and Izmir . Türkiye was the first daily newspaper to be available by subscription in Turkey . But the real innovation was that it combined the purchase of the newspaper with generous rewards. This triggered a doctoral competition between the daily newspapers, which was only prohibited by law in 1996.
If the sold circulation of the Türkiye was still around 50,000 copies sold daily, it was possible to increase its circulation immensely with these funds. On December 10, 1990, Türkiye sold 1,361,553 copies - a record that is still valid today for Turkish daily newspapers.
Along with this development into a mass newspaper, Türkiye became politically more moderate in the 1980s, but remained true to the nationalist-Islamic line.
Germany edition
Türkiye has also been published in Germany since February 4, 1986, and the European edition has been printed in Mörfelden-Walldorf since 1987 .
Trivia
- On December 31, 1987, the Türkiye reporters Servet Kabaklı and Kamuran Abacıoğlu were instrumental in organizing Aysel Özgür's escape from Bulgaria. In the Turkish public, the young woman became a symbol of the oppression of the Turkish minority in Bulgaria . The tensions led to the flight of around 320,000 Turks from Bulgaria in the summer of 1989, around half of whom returned later. The Türkiye reporters were honored for this work by the then Turkish President Turgut Özal .
- On June 7, 2013, at the height of the Gezi protests , Türkiye was - alongside Sabah , Zaman , Habertürk , Star , Güneş and Yeni Şafak - one of seven daily newspapers that carried the identical headline, a statement made by then Prime Minister Erdoğan about the protests , appeared. Critics saw this as a sign of direct government influence.
