Nihat Genç (born 1956) is a Turkish journalist and writer.
He graduated from Trabzon Commerce School in 1974. Although he entered the Istanbul Academy of Economic and Commercial Sciences and Ankara School of Banking and Insurance, he dropped out of these schools because of political unrest. In 1983, he graduated from Hacettepe University's Department of Health Management. After graduation, he worked in the Ministry of Health's Ankara Rehabilitation Center and the Ministry of Culture.
In his youth, he worked as a technician in newspapers and magazines and eventually started writing in nationalistic publications like Bağımsız and Kırmızı-Beyaz and the humoristic publication Leman and for a short while in Akşam newspaper. In 1989, he co-founded with Hakan Albayrak the Çete magazine. He became well known for his critical thoughts in his column "Bir Soru - Bir Cevap" (one question-one answer). From 2003 to 2008, he was part of a long television series of interviews as a political commentator in Nihat Genç ile Ne Var Ne Yok? on Sky Türk until 2008. The program was hosted by Serdar Akinan. It was followed by another interview series Nihat Genç ile Veryansın on Avrasya TV between 2008 and 2011 hosted by Lale Şıvgın. In 2012, he has appeared in Nihat Genç Ko-nu-şu-yor! on Halk TV and in 2013, in Nihat Genç İle Ver-yansın on Ulusal Kanal. He is known for expressing his opinions during TV programs in an angry and emotional way.[1]
After criticizing the organizers of a 2005 conference about Ottoman Armenians During the Decline of the Ottoman Empire at Sabancı University and Boğaziçi University, his long-time publisher cut ties with him stopping all future publications of his books.[2]
Genç founded the Veryansın TV with his friends and followers. He writes on the website and makes appearances on the Veryansın's YouTube channel.[3]
