History

The Daily Sabah was established in 2014 when a highly-antagonistic political climate reigned in Turkish politics. After the conflict in December 2013 between the Gulen movement, a religious civil society organization with some political aspirations, and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), the Gulen movement's Today's Zaman turned into an ardent critic of the ruling AKP. To balance the critical discourse against the AKP by Today's Zaman and Hürriyet Daily News, a secular critic of the AKP, Daily Sabah emerged as a supportive voice of the AKP in the English language.NEWS, New English daily offers Turkish government perspective,weblink 30 June 2016, Al-Monitor, 16 June 2016,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20160616033406weblink">weblink live, WEB, Daily Sabah,weblink 2023-05-29, eurotopics.net, en, 2023-02-18,weblink live,

Criticism

In March 2017, a Dutch member of the European Parliament called Daily Sabah "hate press" and tried to prohibit the distribution of Daily Sabah in parliamentary sessions. The European Parliament has made accusations about the lack of freedom of speech and expression in Turkey, and Daily Sabah defends the AKP government's human rights record. Daily Sabah has said the decision to prohibit its distribution was a violation of the freedoms of the press and expressions. Meanwhile, the EU Affairs Minister for Turkey Ömer Çelik said the following about the issue: "The European Parliament's ban on the freedom of press is a tragic event for the future of Europe."NEWS,weblink European Parliament bans Turkey's Daily Sabah, 2018-10-03, 2018-10-03,weblink live, WEB,weblink European Parliament bans distribution of Turkish daily at its building, TRT World, 2018-10-03, 2018-10-03,weblink live, NEWS,weblink European Parliament bans Daily Sabah but does not know exactly why, Daily Sabah, 2018-10-03, 2018-10-03,weblink live, NEWS,weblink 'FETO behind ban' on Daily Sabah in European parliament, 2018-10-03, 2018-10-03,weblink live, WEB, 'FETÖ behind ban' on Daily Sabah in European parliament,weblinkweblink 24 March 2017, Yeni Şafak, en, 16 August 2020, WEB,weblink European Parliament President bans distribution of Daily Sabah at parliament - World News, Hürriyet Daily News, en, 2018-10-03, 2018-10-03,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20181003220912weblink">weblink live, NEWS,weblink European Parliament violated freedom of press with Daily Sabah ban, Turkish Law Platform says, anews, 2018-10-03, en, 2018-10-03,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20181003220915weblink">weblink live,
