Türk was one of the publications published by Ali Kemal, a member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). It was based in Cairo and existed between 1903 and 1907.
History and profile
Türk was established by Ali Kemal, a CUP member living in Cairo.[1] Its first issue appeared on 5 November that year.[2][3] Ali Kemal also edited the magazine which was headquartered in Cairo and came out weekly.[1][4] It had a nationalist political stance[5][6] and opposed the rule of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[4] Its goals were to secure the rights of the Turks, to revive Turkish ideals and to advocate Turkish nationalism as an ideology.[6]
Notable contributors of Türk included Serafeddin Mağmumi, Necmeddin Arif, Esad Bey, and Celaleddin Bey.[6] Yusuf Akçura's article entitled Üç Tarz-ı Siyaset (Ottoman Turkish: Three political systems) was serialized in the magazine from 24th to 26th issues between April and May 1904.[1][4] He argued that the Ottomanism, Islamism and Turkism are three necessary components in establishing an Ottoman nation, an Islamic unity and a race-based Turkish nationalism.[4][7] Ali Kemal criticized the Akçura's proposal in an editorial entitled Cevabımız (Ottoman Turkish: Our reply), claiming that he was just a dreamer.[4][8] Ahmet Ferit also published an article in the weekly in regard to the views of Akçura criticizing Ali Kemal's arguments and supporting Akçura's emphasis on Ottomanism.[4][8] The last issue of Türk was published on 28 November 1907, and the weekly produced a total of 187 issues during its existence.[2]
