Ant was a Turkish political magazine with a socialist leaning that existed between 1967 and 1971. The magazine is one of the socialist publications which appeared in the 1960s when socialist movements were on rise in Turkey like in other countries.[1]

History and profile[]

Ant was established by Turkish writers, Fethi Naci, Yaşar Kemal ve Doğan Özgüden, in 1967.[1][2] Although the magazine had similar views with the Workers' Party of Turkey (TIP), and initially support it, it was not an official organ of the party.[1][3] Ant was published weekly between 1967 and 1970 and monthly between 1970 and 1971.[2] The magazine basically targeted workers, villagers and students who took part in the mass social struggle in Turkey.[1]

In the early 1970s, Ant drifted away from TİP. It began advocating the build-up of a new revolutionary party and gradually it began arguing for the urban guerrilla line.[4] It was closed down by the military after the March 1971 Turkish coup d'état.[5] After the coup Ant's editors, Doğan Özgüden and Inci Tugsavul, fled to Europe, and founded the Info-Türk group.
