There was a wealth of books, weekly journals and newspaper produced with the Ottoman Turkish Empire which, at the time and even at the beginning of the 20th Century, was a significant world power. Sirat-e Mustakim, after publishing 182 issues, was registered as Sebilurresad on 6 March 1912 and it ceased publication in 1966.
