PTT’NİN KURULUŞUNUN 175. YILI
İlk Posta Teşkilatı Tanzimat Fermanı ile yaşanan gelişmelerin sonucu olarak tüm halkın posta ihtiyaçlarına cevap vermek amacıyla 23 Ekim 1840 tarihinde Posta Nezareti olarak kurulmuştur. İlk Postahane ise İstanbul'da Yeni Cami avlusunda Postahane-i Amire adı ile açılmıştır.
1843 yılında telgrafın icadını müteakip 11 yıl sonra ülkemizde de telgraf hizmeti başlamış, bu hizmeti disipline etmek üzere 1855 yılında ayrı bir Telgraf Müdürlüğü kurulmuştur.
1871 yılında ise Posta Nazırlığı ile Telgraf Müdürlüğü birleştirilerek Posta ve Telgraf Nezaretine dönüştürülmüştür.
1876 yılında milletlerarası posta nakli şebekesi kurulmuş, 1901 yılında ise koli ve havale işleminin kabulüne başlanmıştır.
23 Mayıs 1909 tarihinde ilk manuel telefon santralinin İstanbul'da hizmete başlamasından sonra Posta ve Telgraf Nezareti, 1909 yılında Posta, Telgraf ve Telefon Nezareti haline dönüştürülmüş, 1913 yılında da Posta, Telgraf ve Telefon Umum Müdürlüğü adını almıştır.
18 Haziran 1994 tarihinde PTT İşletmesi Genel Müdürlüğü, T.C. Posta İşletmesi Genel Müdürlüğü ve Türk Telekomünikasyon Anonim Şirketi şeklinde yeniden yapılanmış ve 24 Nisan 1995 tarihinden itibaren T.C. Posta İşletmesi Genel Müdürlüğü olarak faaliyetini sürdürmüştür. 29 Ocak 2000 tarihinde ise "T.C. Posta İşletmesi Genel Müdürlüğü" olan Şirketimizin adı "T.C. Posta ve Telgraf Teşkilatı Genel Müdürlüğü" (PTT) olarak değiştirilmiştir.
Şirketimiz haberleşme, ulaştırma, finans alanlarında yaşanan sektörel değişimler ile sürekli yükselen müşteri beklentilerini karşılama konusunda her geçen gün ileriye doğru adımlar atarak 2013 yılında "T.C. Posta ve Telgraf Teşkilatı Anonim Şirketi" adı ile yeniden yapılanmıştır.
Posta, kargo, bankacılık ve elektronik ticaret alanlarında; Türkiye çapında yaygınlaşmış hizmet ağı, iki asra yakın tecrübesi, çağdaş teknoloji ve güçlü kadroları ile ekonomik, hızlı, güvenli ve kaliteli hizmet sunmayı misyon edinen 175 yıllık köklü bir geçmişe sahip Şirketimiz, bugün değişen teknoloji ile birlikte kendini günden güne geliştiren yenilikçi ve çağdaş bir yaklaşımla yoluna devam etmektedir.

The first post office opened under the name of ‘Postahane-i Amire’ at the courtyard of the ‘Yeni Camii’ (New Mosque) in Istanbul.
11 years later right after the invention of telegraph in 1843, the telegraph service had started also in the country and a separate ‘Directorate of Telegraph’ was established in 1855 in order to discipline this service across the country.

Peace Summit

PEACE SUMMIT

The Ottoman Empire was one of the six major belligerent Powers during the whole duration of the First World War, the salient event of the past century which ushered in modern times. The Ottoman Empire entered the Great War on 29 October 1914 and surrendered exactly four years later on 30 October 1918, only ten days before Germany did so. The First World War was forced upon Turkey. The Entente Powers rejected Turkey’s wish to side with them and did not offer any meaningful guarantees for the Empire’s territorial integrity.
The Ottoman Empire’s performance during the Great War was heroic and for both its allies and foes, surprising, to say the least. It was not an industrialized Power and not one of those rich empires of the time with seemingly endless resources. But it had the most diversified fronts running in all four directions. It fought in Europe, in Gallipoli, Galicia and the Caucasus and in Palestine, Suez and Mesopotamia. The Great War, which the Empire entered into for self-defense, brought calamity to the peoples who lived in the fold of the Ottomans, and it robbed the country of its best and the brightest. Only in Gallipoli, Turkey lost nearly 40.000 high school and university graduates. Then the National War of Liberation ensued under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, leading to the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey on 29 October, 1923. Turkey, understands the unique role it can play in instilling the conditions of lasting peace, and prosperity in its wider region, and earnestly tries to live up to this promise.
In a broader sense the First World War takes its place in the series of those great events which shaped the flow of history and defined Turkey’s European character and credentials, hence Turkey’s European vocation and its membership negotiations with the European Union.
Our Company issued two commemorative stamp blocs in recognition of the “Peace Summit” which was held in Istanbul on 23 April 2015 with the purpose of sending a peace message to the whole world on basis of the friendly relations established by Turkey with the former belligerent countries of the Battle of Çanakkale remembered as the last “Gentlemen’s War” in history as well as drawing attention to the difficulties faced all across the world today.
The commemorative stamps on the theme “Peace Summit” have a value of 1.25 and 2.50 Turkish Liras. The stamp portfolio includes the aforementioned commemorative stamps, a commemoration block without perforation with serial number from 0001 to 5000 valuing 2.50 Turkish Liras, a commemoration block with perforation valuing 4 Turkish Liras, as well as a first day cover. The portfolio has been issued as of 23 April 2015.
