Avlaremoz (in English: Let's talk) was initially focused on providing accessible antisemitism and Holocaust knowledge in Turkish. In recent years, the newsroom has shifted to promote a broader conversation on the Turkish-Jewish community.

Avlaremoz has become the first website published by the Jewish minority to feature direct political commentary on current politics, and it relies on a horizontal group of voluntary editors and contributors to publish its original content.

Avlaremoz's team publishes narrative features, interviews and essays, bringing into light topics overlooked in the past, such as LGBTIQ+ identities within the Turkish-Jewish community.

The outlet uses the Patreon platform for crowdfunding the project, yet its sustainability overwhelmingly depends on the voluntary team's financial contributions and time.

In 2023, the editorial team envisages securing a small grant to introduce a certain level of professionalisation to develop social media channels, newsletters and print issues.
