From the ottoman military press: Kilinc Journal's translation and evaluation

The military publication "Kılıç Journal" began its press life on December 31, 1909, after the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Era, in the Baghdad Vilayet. The journal does not include political, social, or economic writings. Instead, it focuses more on news and articles related to the military profession. The founders of the journal are Hüseyin Fevzi and Reşid Bey. The journal aimed to inform its readers and Ottoman military personnel on professional matters. In this context, it especially featured translated articles from foreign works and dedicated its pages to articles prepared for this purpose, being published weekly. The journal, which was published in 24 issues and released on Fridays, shed light on the understanding of military education and the practice of the military profession. While being a local publication, it addressed more broadly the entire Ottoman army along with its unique focus. As part of this thesis, the journal was introduced, and its 24 issues were transcribed into modern Turkish alphabet.
