History
The first issue of '"Ortadoğu Analiz"' appeared in January 2009 with a special focus on the Gaza Strip in Palestine. In the first issue, the magazine was including independent academic commentaries, book reviews and an interview with an important political figure.
In 2013, the magazine changed its style. It not only abandoned to use reference and abstracts in commentaries but it also shortened commentaries. This change made the magazine less academic and therefore more close to public readers.
