Albayrak Group is a Turkish multinational conglomerate company based in Istanbul, Turkey. For the first three decades it was a construction company, but since 1982 it has expanded into other sectors, including transport and logistics, waste management, and media.[1] It acquired the Yeni Şafak newspaper in 1997.[1]

The group has been contracted by the government multiple times because of its close ties with AK Party.[4] It is also active internationally and has done construction of Lahore Metro Bus and is currently managing Mogadishu Port in Somalia and Conakry port in Guinea.[5][6]
