The paper was founded by Enver Ören in 1970 as Hakikat, and was renamed Türkiye in 1972.[3] It sold 119,000 copies in 1985, and 300,000 copies in 1989.[3] Nevzat Yalçıntaş is among the former editors-in-chief of the paper.[4] Notable contributors include Ayhan Songar who published articles from 1989 to 1997[5] and Rahîm Er. In the late 1990s the paper was close to the conservative think tank Intellectuals' Hearth.[6]
Türkiye's parent company, İhlas Gazetecilik, was floated on the Istanbul Stock Exchange in 2010 (33% of shares, with the remainder owned by İhlas Holding).[7]
