BYEGM (website) was established on 7 June 1920 by Atatürk's instructions.
Atatürk wrote in the preamble to the law establishing BYEGM: "Ignoring
to establish an organization of politics and ideas for a considerable
period of time, which is as powerful as weaponry in defending our
national interests, has caused many acts of malice. There is not a
single European state that has not set up an as-large-as-possible
organization with this objective in mind. On the one hand we need to
bring out publications with an aim to defend our national and legitimate
cause and to constantly scrutinize the foreign press to understand the
flow of ideas, while on the other hand we need to bring out publications
within the nation to produce a union of ideas and spirits as the modern
time dictates."
The Directorate, which acquired different names under several ministries
in the decades after its establishment, attained its own organizational
structure with its current name and functions by a Decree-Law adopted in
1984. Duties of BYEGM include:
(a) to contribute to the promotion of the state policy and to the
strategies implemented by the government on this matter;
(b) to provide accurate and timely information to the public and
relevant state authorities;
(c) to ensure government activities and services are effectively
conveyed to the national and international public;
(d) to maintain and organize relations with the domestic and foreign
media and take effective measures to facilitate their working conditions
and activities.
BYEGM has 17 provincial and 39 international offices.
