ANKARA
Exactly 101 years ago, a discussion between two Turkish intellectuals Halide Edip Adivar and Yunus Nadi Abalioglu at a train station conceived the idea of the Turkish global wire Anadolu Agency.
On the orders of the founding father of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the agency began its operation on April 6, 1920, to communicate the voice of Anatolia to the world.
Since its foundation, Anadolu Agency has worked to disseminate factual news across the globe with confidence, impartiality, professionalism and speed.
It currently operates in 13 languages and provides news to more than 6,000 subscribers from over 100 countries.
