The Ottoman journal Anadolu Mecmuası (Ottoman-Turkish:انادولو مجموعه سى; DMG: Anadolu Mecmuası; English: "Anatolia") was published in Istanbul in 11 issues between 1924 and 1925. It was edited by Hilmi Ziya Ülken (1901-1974), a philosopher and professor for sociology at the University of Istanbul and by the historian Mükrimin Halil Yinanç (1898-1961).[1] The idea of the journal was born by an intellectual movement of professors and students of different disciplines (“Anadoluculuk“), with Yinanç as their main representative.[2] The journal served the spreading of their ideas and as literary platform for Anatolian topics such as folklore, history, philosophy and geography.[3] The term “anatolian homeland“ should demonstrate that it defines the nation and the history of the Turkish Republic should be considered as the history of Anatolia.
