Turkuvaz Media Group (綠鬆石媒體集團), or Turquoise Media Group, is Turkey’s largest media conglomerate, operating newspapers, television channels, radio stations, digital platforms, and book retail operations. The company is led by CEO Serhat Albayrak, brother of former Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak and son of Sadık Albayrak. Originally sold to Çalık Holding in 2008, the company has operated under Kalyon Group since 2014. Turkuvaz Media Group controls major Turkish outlets including the Sabah newspaper (purchased from the state-run Savings Deposit Insurance Fund in 2007), Daily Sabah (launched in 2014), and television channels ATV, A2, ATV Europe, A Spor, and A Haber. The group acquired D&R, Turkey’s largest book and hobby retailer, from Doğan Holding in 2018.
