From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cumhuriyet (literally "republic" in Turkish) is an intellectual center-left Turkish daily newspaper founded on May 7, 1924 by journalist Yunus Nadi Abalıoğlu. Based in Istanbul, it has been situated since October 17, 2005 in Mecidiyeköy. Cumhuriyet was the last newspaper to leave the old press district Cağaloğlu. It has also offices in Ankara and Izmir.
Following the decease of Yunus Nadi on March 28, 1945 in Geneva, Switzerland, Cumhuriyet was owned by his eldest son Nadir Nadi until his death on August 20, 1991.
