Ay Qap (آی قاپ, Айқап, Aıqap in modern scripts) was a Kazakh journal of opinion and debate published in Troitsk from January 1911 until September 1915 under the editorship of Mūhammedjan Seralin.
[1] It brought together well-known nationalists and reformists, progressivist thinkers and scholars, educators and writers, such as Ahmed Baytursınulı, Älikhan Bökeikhanov, Mir Yaqub Dulatūly, Mäşhür Jüsip Köpeev, Muhammedjan Jūmabayev, Beiımbet Mailin and many others.
Articles focused mainly on questions related to the modernisation of the Kazakh customary society, Russian politics, land redistribution and educational issues.
Along with Qazaq (published between 1913 and 1918), Ay Qap played an important role in the development of the intellectual and political life among early 20th century Kazakhs.
The original articles have been recently reprinted in Cyrillic script (with a substantial adaptation to modern standard Kazakh language) with a thematic index and a general introduction (Субханбердина ж. б., 1995)[citation needed].
