''Sabah'' is a Turkish daily newspaper, with a circulation of around 330,000 as of 2011. Its name means "morning" in Turkish. The newspaper was founded in Izmir by Dinç Bilgin on 22 April 1985. In 2007, the government of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan seized the newspaper, citing a legal document that had not been disclosed to authorities when ''Sabah'' was sold in 2001. Ownership of the newspaper was given to the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund of Turkey. Some of the newspaper's staffers were fired, and the paper was then sold to the Turkuvaz Media Group belonging to Çalık Holding whose CEO, Berat Albayrak, is the son-in-law of Erdoğan and whose chairman, Ahmet Çalık, has been described as a "close associate" of Erdoğan.〔''The Economist'', 8 May 2008, (Circulation wars )〕 The $1.1bn sale aroused substantial controversy in Turkey, not least because it was partially financed by $750m of loans from two state banks, VakıfBank and Halkbank,〔Çalık Holding press release, 22 April 2008, (ÇALIK HOLDING ACQUIRES ATV-SABAH )〕 and was sold for the minimum price, with Çalık Holding the sole bidder.〔Reuters, 12 January 2008, (Turkey eyes reform of media ownership law -paper )〕 According to Aslı Aydıntaşbaş, who was ''Sabahs Ankara bureau chief until the takeover, from then on the newspaper took on "an unwavering pro-government line."〔(Turkey's War on the Press ), Asli Aydintasbas, ''The Wall Street Journal'', 18 September 2009〕 The Kalyon Group took over the newspaper in 2013. Kalyon Group is the current publisher, while Erdal Şafak is the editor-in-chief. ''Sabah'' has published ''The New York Times International Weekly'' on Sundays since 2009. This 8-page supplement features a selection of articles from ''The New York Times'' translated into Turkish. The partnership with the ''New York Times'' was finished in 2014 without any formal explanation given. == Notable contributors (past and present) == *Engin Ardıç, journalist * *Mehmet Barlas, columnist *Mehmet Ali Birand (1941-2013), journalist * *Salih Memecan, cartoonist *, journalist *Ahmet Vardar (1937-2010), journalist 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sabah (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
