Mümtaz'er Türköne

'''Mümtaz'er Türköne''', (born 1956 in Istanbul), is a Turkish academic and author. He was a faculty member at Gazi University from 1993 to 2007 and was a columnist for the ''Zaman'' and its English-language sister ''Today's Zaman''.

In the 1990s Türköne was a member of the ''Analitik Grubu'' group of advisors to Prime Minister Tansu Çiller.

In January 2012 Türköne resigned from the Atatürk Culture, Language and History Institution, a month after being appointed by President Abdullah Gül. His appointment had been criticised as Türköne had previously described Atatürkism as a "closed minded and bigoted" ideology.

He is the ex-husband of former AKP deputy Özlem Türköne. Provided by Wikipedia
