Hürriyet has met the news and commentary needs of Turks living in Europe for the past 42 years with its strong network of reporters in the European countries. Making significant contributions to the creation of a positive public opinion in Europe, Hürriyet plays an important role in expressing the problems of Turkish citizens living in Europe and seeking solutions, improving the dialogue with the politicians of those countries and taking steps toward harmonization and Turkey's full accession to the EU.
 With its high daily circulation, Hürriyet is not only the best-selling Turkish-language newspaper in Europe, but also one of the best-selling foreign newspapers on the entire continent. Hürriyet is a member of IVW, the circulation measurement institution in Germany.

In addition to Europe, Hürriyet is also printed in New York and sold in certain US cities. In addition to Hürriyet Europe, the Europe-specific website of Hürriyet, www.hurriyet.de, is also an indispensable source of news especially for young Turks living in Germany.
