After he settled down in  stanbul, in 1909, he was appointed as Minister of Education Inspectorate. He worked in several different newspapers, then he became the editorial writer of ¡° Terc¨¹man-  Hakikat¡± newspaper. A ao lu, who is among the founders of ¡°T¨¹rk Derne i¡± (The Association of Turks) and ¡°T¨¹rk Oca  ¡± (The Organization of Turks), was selected as deputy from Afyon. During the time he was the editorial writer of Terc¨¹man-  Hakikat, he emphasized the necessity of this and compared this notion with the reform of Balkans, in the articles about the reform of the Eastern Anatolia. Furthermore, he tried to define the attitudes and intentions of great powers (states) towards reforming. Referring to the eagerness and determination of Ottoman Goverment, he also pointed out that the expected contribution was not carried out by the Armenians, neither inside nor outside the country.
