İletişim Yayınları announced that the books will be published in December 2023.
Özgür Çırak’s Biz De Yarın Güleriz will be published by İletişim Yayınları. Creating a unique atmosphere in Biz De Yarın Güleriz, Çırak tells stories that sometimes make the reader laugh and sometimes make the reader wonder, while immersing the reader in gripping events.
In Biz De Yarın Güleriz, Özgür Çırak tells the stories of people who are aware of themselves, of their own time, and who believe that time will surely come one day, if not now. But this is not an arrogant consciousness that burns with the fire of “I am the most special” or a rootless optimism. It is an awareness that embraces the transience of the dust and smoke around us and the permanence of moments and emotions. Human states that sometimes manifest themselves in the unsettling gap of a curtain, sometimes in the uneasiness when the strings between two relationships reach the point of breaking, sometimes in a passionate bond with an object…

Cumhuriyet’in Doğuşundan AKP’ye Türkiye’de Din Siyaseti
Ceren Lord
Sami Oğuz (Translator)
Ceren Lord’s book, Cumhuriyet’in Doğuşundan AKP’ye Türkiye’de Din Siyaseti, is published by İletişim Yayınları. Lord comprehensively examines how the policy of “Islamization” has been used as a state tradition not only after the 2002 elections, but also since the foundation of Turkey…
In this book, Ceren Lord explains how Islam has been used to create a nation-state since the founding of Turkey and how Islamic mobilization has been strengthened by the state and through state apparatuses. Contrary to the popular belief that the AKP, which came to power after the 2002 elections, has begun to “Islamize” Turkey, he shows that this is not a new phenomenon but an established state tradition. Cumhuriyet’in Doğuşundan AKP’ye Türkiye’de Din Siyaseti does not neglect the Diyanet. From the reasons for its creation to its current power, from the privileges granted to Sunnis to the exclusion of other religions and sects, the Diyanet is examined from a multifaceted perspective. Lord demonstrates that a deeper study and understanding of the politics of religion in Turkey is possible without confining it to the dichotomy and conflict between secularism and Islamism.

İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Türkiye’nin Dış Politikası
Selim Deringil
Denge Oyunu – İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Türkiye’nin Dış Politikası, written by Selim Deringil, is published by İletişim Yayınları. Denge Oyunu tells the story of Turkey’s foreign policy during World War II through the analysis of historical documents.
At a time when the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was signed, France collapsed within weeks, and the Axis powers were advancing rapidly, Turkey, which had recently gained its independence, made great efforts to avoid entering the Second World War. Denge Oyunu provides a detailed account of Turkey’s foreign policy during this period of economic and military weakness. Through a detailed analysis of diplomatic sources, memoirs, documents, and the press, it shows how foreign policy makers pursued a determined “active neutrality” by emphasizing realism, how they negotiated with Allied and Axis diplomats, what arguments they used, and what they paid attention to regarding what happened during the war and what would happen after the war.
