Nokta ("dot" in Turkish) was a leading Turkish weekly political news magazine. Founded in 1983, it was closed down by its owner in 2007 under military pressure after revealing several coup plots.
Contributors to Nokta included Ayşe Arman, Can Dündar and Ahmet Şık.
The magazine was launched by Ercan Arıklı on 1 March 1982 as Nokta ve İnsanlar. It became Nokta in 1983. The magazine had a liberal and progressive stance during the Ercan Arıklı period.
In 1989 it was the highest-circulation news weekly in Turkey, ahead of 2000'e Doğru.
In March 2007, Nokta ran a story, written by its Editor in Chief, Ahmet Alper Görmüş, revealing a confidential campaign of the military blacklisting some journalists and press organs, based on a leaked report prepared by the Office of the Chief of General Staff categorizing journalists as "trustworthy" (pro military) and "untrustworthy" (anti military). While the military acknowledged the existence of such a list, they declared that the version published by Nokta was "only a draft". The newspaper Sabah said that Nokta's report does not conform to the format used by the military.
I wanna be the last one you talk to before you fall asleep. I wanna be the one you give secrets to keep. Can't make this phone call today. I thought she'd be there for me. I've said all I want to and now all I want is you. I bet I blew it with the childish things I do.
