The independent, anti-government web portal Diken (in English: thorn) was launched in 2014 by media entrepreneur Harun Simavi as a counterweight to Turkey's predominantly pro-government media. It says it aims to defend democracy, fundamental rights and secularism. Some of the articles are translated into English.
