context_page_description: Rıza Nur was a Turkish surgeon, politician and writer. He was prominent in the years immediately after the First World War, where he served as a cabinet minister but was subsequently marginalised, and became a critic of the new regime.
context_section_description: Following the formation of the Turkish Republic, Rıza Nur fell out of favour and left Turkey in 1926 after the attempt on the life of Atatürk at Izmir. Rıza condemned the executions of Mehmet Cavit Bey and the other alleged assassination conspirators arguing that, whilst he personally disliked the men who had been his own political opponents, he felt that they had not been involved in the plot and so were unjustly killed. Embittered at the fall-out with his former ally, Rıza also wrote widely about Atatürk's alleged alcoholism. Between 1931 and 1937 published the Revue de Turcologie in French and Turkish language, which founded in Paris, was issued in Alexandria. Returning from exile in Paris and Alexandria after Atatürk's death, in 1942 he published the journal Tanrıdağı, which supported Turanism and pan-Turkism. The journal's name refers to the Tien Shan mountain range in Mongolia, a region inhabited by ancient Turkic tribes. 
  Rıza Nur was also a noted writer on a number of topics, with his most well-known work being a history of Turkey in 14 volumes.
  He died at the age of 63 and was buried at the Merkezefendi Cemetery, Istanbul.
