Apogevmatini, which was established in 1925 and is the only newspaper living in during Turkish Rebuplic until now, is an important source for the press of Greek minority. Except the 15 days that was closed after the events of S~pt mber on 6th and 7th, it is a daily newspaper very popular among the Greek minority in Istanbul. The slogan of the newspaper written under its title on the first page "Nobody was born or died without our ignorance" is the only and real mission of the newspaper. In the newspaper there is information about births, deaths and baptisms of the minority members as well as all the social, religious or cultural activities that will be taken place at schools, associations and churches of the Greek minority. Therefore the newspaper is an important source to understand the soci al and cultural life of the Greek minority in Istanbul. The main aim of Apogevmatini is to inform the minority for the events happened within congregation rather than to write about political news. In the newspaper there is news about people who leave or come in Istanbul, church news, social and cultural activities at schools and associations, news of deaths and baptisms, advertisements related to Greek minority, as well as news about accidents and variations in the centre or villages of Istanbul. Advertisements and social news are formed nearly the whole of newspaper.
