History and profile

Yeni Kafkasya was founded by Mahammad Emin Resulzade in Istanbul in 1923, and its first issue appeared on 26 September 1923.[1] It came out biweekly. The magazine had an anti-communist political stance.[2] Resulzade edited the magazine which received contributions from the exiled Azerbaijanis and also, from the leading nationalist figures, including Zeki Velidi Togan, Yusuf Akçura and Ahmed Cevad.[1]

Between 15 December 1925 and 6 February 1926 the magazine stopped publication.[1] The magazine was closed down in late 1927 upon the request of the Ministry of Interior due to its alleged harmful publications.[1] The magazine was succeeded by another magazine, Azeri Türk, which was launched by the same individuals.[2]

Resulzade's articles featured in Yeni Kafkasya were published in 2017 as a book entitled Yeni Kafkasya Yazıları (1923–1927).[3]
