Hello, my dear friends who have worked with devotion to bring Türkiye newspaper to where it is today.

Thanks be to God, this sapling, planted with great effort half a century ago, quickly turned into a gigantic plane tree and has reached its 51st year today.

Our newspaper, which proudly carries the name of our country on the path it set out on with the aim of proclaiming the truth, has earned a very special place in our hearts with its stance of being fully committed to democracy and always standing by our nation in every ordeal our country has faced.

It is because of this love and trust that in the past half century, no one has even come close to our newspaper’s circulation record of 1,424,000.

Our widespread distribution network, which delivers our newspaper to the doorsteps of our readers in every corner of our country, has been one of the most important elements that has strengthened us in the difficult process that the Turkish press is going through today.

In our 51st year, you will also find a few “taster” memories from these distributors on these pages.

The venerable, peaceful pillar of our press world will continue on its path, meticulously maintaining its editorial line that upholds democracy and national and spiritual values, without deviating from its founding purpose.

I congratulate our newspaper, the cornerstone of İhlas Holding, our media organizations, and all our other companies, on its 51st anniversary. I extend my gratitude to everyone who has walked shoulder-to-shoulder with us in this success, especially our distributors, readers, friends, reporters, writers, artists, printing team, subscribers, and advertisers. May God Almighty be abundantly pleased with our founder, the late Dr. Enver Ören, and his companions. We are setting sail into the second half-century with determination on the solid foundations they laid.

This pride and happiness belong to all of us.

Many more centuries to come for Türkiye newspaper.

Ahmet Mücahid Ören
Chairman of the Board of Directors of İhlas Holding
