Particularly during February 28th, 1997 Yeni Şafak has never come to heels in front of any suppression, but has only stayed on the same line with public, standing for their demands. On the most difficult days when Turkey’s democracy and human rights were besieged; Yeni Şafak presented a very brave stance, which the Turkish media had never witnessed, by claiming many of the journalists, who were banned from many newspapers.
