Following the death 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. Nadir Nadi's wife Berin then published the newspaper. Cumhuriyet is owned by the Cumhuriyet Foundation since the death of Berin Nadi on November 5, 2001. The publisher is currently the renowned political columnist İlhan Selçuk, who is also chairman of the board of trustees.
Cumhuriyet's office in Istanbul was the site of a molotov attack in 2008. [1]
