Büyük Doğu (magazine)

Büyük Doğu (Turkish: The Great East) was one of the early Islamist political publications in Turkey. It was started as a daily newspaper and later relaunched as a weekly magazine. Büyük Doğu was "one of two outlets of the Cold War Islamic thought in Turkey." The publication was a platform for its founder, Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, to disseminate his arguments and views. It was in circulation between 1943 and 1978 with some intervals and produced a total of 512 issues. Büyük Doğu was closed down by the authorities thirteen times during its thirty-five-year run.
