Mümtaz'er Türköne Explained

Mümtaz'er Türköne, (born 1956 in Istanbul), is a Turkish academic and author. He was a faculty member at Gazi University from 1993 to 2007[1] and was a columnist for the Zaman and its English-language sister Today's Zaman.

In the 1990s Türköne was a member of the Analitik Grubu group of advisors to Prime Minister Tansu Çiller.[2] [3]

In January 2012 Türköne resigned from the Atatürk Culture, Language and History Institution, a month after being appointed by President Abdullah Gül. His appointment had been criticised as Türköne had previously described Atatürkism as a "closed minded and bigoted" ideology. [4]

He is the ex-husband of former AKP deputy Özlem Türköne.
