Early life and career

Mısıroğlu was born in Akçaabat in the Trabzon Province and enrolled in the Istanbul University Faculty of Law in 1954. He became interested in history during his university education and began research as an amateur historian. He founded the publishing house Sebil in 1964 and the eponymous magazine in 1976.[2] He has published more than 60 books in his career.[3] His 1974 book decrying the historical legacy of the 1923 Lausanne Treaty brought him widespread recognition among conservatives.[4]

National Salvation Party

In 1977, Mısıroğlu became a Trabzon candidate of the Islamist National Salvation Party for the Grand National Assembly of Turkey but failed to be elected.[5] He became a member of the Central Committee of the party in 1978 but after the 1980 Turkish coup d'état, he sought asylum in Germany and settled in Frankfurt.[5]

Return to Turkey

Mısıroğlu returned to Turkey in 1991. He founded the foundation Osmanlılar İlim ve İrfan Vakfı, an Ottoman monarchist NGO in 1994 and he led it until at least 2014.[6]

Works

He "penned over 50 books, which include research, nonfiction and poems."[7]
