The Turkish Historical Society (Turkish: Türk Tarih Kurumu; TTK) is a research society studying the history of Turkey and the Turkish people, founded in 1931 by the initiative of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with headquarters in Ankara, Turkey.[1] It has been described as "the Kemalist official producer of nationalist historical narratives".[2] Turkish sociologist Fatma Müge Göçek states that the TTK "failed to carry out independent research of Turkish history, remaining instead the voice of the official ideology".[3]
