==History==
The ''Daily Sabah'' was established in 2014 when a highly-antagonistic political climate reigned in [[Turkish politics]]. After the conflict in December 2013 between the [[Gulen movement]], a religious civil society organization with some political aspirations, and the ruling [[Justice and Development Party (Turkey)|Justice and Development Party]] (AKP), the Gulen movement's ''[[Today's Zaman]]'' turned into an ardent critic of the ruling AKP. To balance the critical discourse against the AKP by ''Today's Zaman'' and ''[[Hürriyet Daily News]]'', a secular critic of the AKP, ''Daily Sabah'' emerged as a supportive voice of the AKP in the English language.<ref>{{cite news|title=New English daily offers Turkish government perspective|url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/politics/2014/02/turkey-new-english-newspaper-government-perspective.html|access-date=30 June 2016|publisher=[[Al-Monitor]]|archive-date=16 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160616033406/http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/politics/2014/02/turkey-new-english-newspaper-government-perspective.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Daily Sabah |url=https://www.eurotopics.net/en/156478/daily-sabah |access-date=2023-05-29 |website=eurotopics.net |language=en |archive-date=2023-02-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230218044042/https://www.eurotopics.net/en/156478/daily-sabah |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
==Editorial policy and viewpoints==
The''Daily Sabah'' newspaper describes itself as "committed to the democracy, the rule of law, human rights and liberty".<ref>{{cite web|title=About Us|url=http://www.dailysabah.com/static/about-us |publisher=www.dailysabah.com|access-date=30 June 2016|archive-date=9 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190909112429/https://www.dailysabah.com/static/about-us|url-status=live}}</ref> Despite this official descriptionHowever, ''Dailythe Sabah''paper is described as a mouthpiece of the [[JusticeAKP andby Development''[[Foreign Party (Turkey)|AKPPolicy]]''.<ref name=frg1>{{cite web|title=Army of Spin|url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2014/12/09/army-of-spin-turkey-media-erdogan/ |work=Foreign Policy |access-date=30 June 2016|archive-date=8 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190408045402/https://foreignpolicy.com/2014/12/09/army-of-spin-turkey-media-erdogan/|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
According to the German newspaper ''[[Der Spiegel Online(website)|Der Spiegel]]'', ''Daily Sabah'' is very critical of the [[Gülen movement|Gulen movement]], which the AKP government accuses of trying to overthrow the government in [[2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt|an attempted coup d'état in 2016]].<ref name="spiegel">{{Cite web|url=http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-124276494.html|title=TÜRKEI: Die Rache der Brüder|last=Popp|first=Maximilian|date=6 January 2014|website=[[Der Spiegel]]|language=de|access-date=2017-04-29|archive-date=2018-08-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180817181550/http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-124276494.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Daily Sabah'' has been described as using transparent and, ill-formed, and Turkish-style propaganda to advance the AKP government's version of events by ''Der Spiegel''.<ref name="spiegel" />
 
==Criticism==
In March 2017, a Dutch member of the [[European Parliament]] called ''Daily Sabah'' "hate press" and tried to prohibit the distribution of ''Daily Sabah'' in parliamentary sessions. The European Parliament has made accusations about the lack of freedom of speech and expression in Turkey, and ''Daily Sabah'' defends the AKP government's human rights record. ''Daily Sabah'' has said the decision to prohibit its distribution was a violation of the freedoms of the press and expressions. Meanwhile, the EU Affairs Minister for Turkey [[Ömer Çelik]], who is also a member of AKP ''per se'', said the following about the issue: "The European Parliament's ban on the freedom of press is a tragic event for the future of Europe."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/european-parliament-bans-turkeys-daily-sabah-/778435|title=European Parliament bans Turkey's ''Daily Sabah''|access-date=2018-10-03|archive-date=2018-10-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003222505/https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/european-parliament-bans-turkeys-daily-sabah-/778435|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.trtworld.com/europe/european-parliament-bans-distribution-of-turkish-daily-at-the-building-323035|title=European Parliament bans distribution of Turkish daily at its building|publisher=[[TRT World]] |access-date=2018-10-03|archive-date=2018-10-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003181703/https://www.trtworld.com/europe/european-parliament-bans-distribution-of-turkish-daily-at-the-building-323035|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.dailysabah.com/eu-affairs/2017/03/24/european-parliament-bans-daily-sabah-but-does-not-know-exactly-why |title=European Parliament bans ''Daily Sabah'' but does not know exactly why |work=Daily Sabah |access-date=2018-10-03 |archive-date=2018-10-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003181814/https://www.dailysabah.com/eu-affairs/2017/03/24/european-parliament-bans-daily-sabah-but-does-not-know-exactly-why |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/feto-behind-ban-on-daily-sabah-in-european-parliament/778956|title='FETO behind ban' on ''Daily Sabah'' in European parliament|access-date=2018-10-03|archive-date=2018-10-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003221033/https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/feto-behind-ban-on-daily-sabah-in-european-parliament/778956|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title='FETÖ behind ban' on ''Daily Sabah'' in European parliament |url=https://www.yenisafak.com/en/world/feto-behind-ban-on-daily-sabah-in-european-parliament-2633409 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170324164532/https://www.yenisafak.com/en/world/feto-behind-ban-on-daily-sabah-in-european-parliament-2633409 |archive-date=24 March 2017 |website=[[Yeni Şafak]] |language=en |access-date=16 August 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/european-parliament-president-bans-distribution-of-daily-sabah-at-parliament-111171|title=European Parliament President bans distribution of ''Daily Sabah'' at parliament - World News|website=Hürriyet Daily News|language=en|access-date=2018-10-03|archive-date=2018-10-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003220912/http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/european-parliament-president-bans-distribution-of-daily-sabah-at-parliament-111171|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.anews.com.tr/world/2017/03/31/european-parliament-violated-freedom-of-press-with-daily-sabah-ban-turkish-law-platform-says|title=European Parliament violated freedom of press with ''Daily Sabah'' ban, Turkish Law Platform says|publisher=anews|access-date=2018-10-03|language=en|archive-date=2018-10-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003220915/http://www.anews.com.tr/world/2017/03/31/european-parliament-violated-freedom-of-press-with-daily-sabah-ban-turkish-law-platform-says|url-status=live}}</ref>
