	TÜGİAD ELEGANS magazine communicate the happenings around the world, internal and external dynamics, philosophy of the globalization, the reforms in our social and economical life by bimonthly issues in Turkish and with an English summary with its unique style to the subscribers and readers in Turkey and Europe in the process in which young Republic of Turkey, continuing its social and economical development, is on its way to EU.
The owner of TÜGİAD ELEGANS magazine, Tayfun Yumak has made an evaluation for the 20. year of the magazine; “ TÜGİAD ELEGANS, started to be published in 1986, has succesfully carried out a long and hard journey and has acquired an important statute in publishing sector. It is a rare success that a magazine keeps being published for 20 years in Turkey especially in the publishing sector and reach today by continuously renewing itself. This is the success of all the employees of YUMAK Agency which is the publisher of TÜGİAD ELEGANS. I think it deserves any appraisal for its resistance and patience and financial staying power in Turkey, coping with financial problems and without habit of reading newspaper, book and especially magazines regularly and to be succesful as a result. As a person who is aware of the difficulties under which such a magazine as TÜGİAD ELEGANS, having the quality of an international media, is prepared within regular time periods and presented to the reader; TÜGİAD ELEGANS, undertaken the mission of “Promotion Platform” from the aspect of Turkey-EU relations, makes a great contribution to the developments and works in this long way in the dynamic process which Turkey is being integrated with European Union. Anatolian lands, being the homeland of many civilizations during the world history, has never lost its quality of being a great, large and dynamic market and bridge for the development of traditional commercial relations. USA and Europe can only overcome the stagnation in their domestic markets if they enter new markets and build commercial relations with the developing countries. Turkey is a country of transition right in the middle of active commercial activities ranging from USA and Europe to Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Caucasus and Far East with this market dynamics and geographical position. In this sense, TÜGİAD ELEGANS will continue to inform about Turkey, on its way to be a more happy, strong and peaceful EU member, and will carry its publications with the same vision and sensitivity for a modern society.
