Ahval
Ahval is an Emirati-funded online news website that solely reports on Turkey. The site was launched in 2017. Turkish journalist Yavuz Baydar is the current editor and Turkish journalist İlhan Tanır is the chief of the English desk. The name "Ahval" means "events" and is a Turkish Arabism derivation from "ahwal".

In February 2018, Ahval was blocked by the Turkish government for users in Turkey. In an interview with observatoireturquie.fr, Baydar stated that the site has 230,000 daily visitors.

Talking to German newspaper "Süddeutsche Zeitung", Baydar said that the creation of Ahval aimed "to fill a gap caused by media bans and self-censorship in Turkey."
