Yıllık 2023

The 2023 Almanac, also published in English and Arabic editions, presents a written and visual chronicle of the events that defined the year, captured from the vantage point of Anadolu Ajansı’s newsroom. By documenting key domestic and international developments and their broader reverberations, this volume also serves as a vital contribution to the archive of contemporary journalism.

Among Türkiye’s most defining moments are the devastating February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes—described as the “disaster of the century”—which plunged the nation into mourning; the Presidential and 28th Parliamentary Elections, closely watched both at home and abroad; and the jubilant nationwide celebrations marking the centennial of the Republic. On the global stage, Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip during the final months of 2023 triggered international outcry and dominated world headlines.
