Ruşen Eşref Ünaydın (1892–1959) was a Turkish linguist, politician, journalist, diplomat, author, and scholar of writer. He contributed to Süs, a women's magazine, between 1923 and 1924.[2] Ünaydın was a member of the commission that introduced the modern Turkish alphabet.[3] He was also one of the founders and the first secretary general (1933) of the Turkish Language Association.[4][5] He was appointed as the ambassador to Albania (1934),[6] Hungary (1939–1943),[7] Italy (1943–1944), the United Kingdom (1944–1945),[8] and Greece (1945–1952).[9]

Ünaydın was a pioneer in Turkish literature and journalism due to the interviews he published in 1917 and 1918. Considered the first modern features in Turkish newspapers, they were later published as a book entitled "Diyorlar Ki" (Thus They Said).[10]
