İkdam

İkdam ("Effort") was a newspaper in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. In the period of its publication, in the city of Istanbul, it became the most popular newspaper.[2]

İkdams front page on 4 November 1918, after the Three Pashas fled the country during the final days of WWI, reads: "Their response to eliminate the Armenian problem was to attempt the elimination of the Armenians themselves."[1]

Ahmet Cevdet Oran established it in 1894. It initially advocated for Turkism but held a critical attitude towards the Committee of Union and Progress after the Young Turk Revolution had occurred. Yakup Karaosmanoğlu was a journalist with İkdam during the Turkish War of Independence.[3]

The paper was disestablished in 1928.[2]
