Work began in Ankara in 1900/01 (AH 1318). The annual lists begin in 1900/01, with Yusuf Ziya Efendi as Telgrafhane mülazımı in Ankara. For 1901 to 1903 the lists have no entry. Next came Erzurum in 1903/04. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1906. The last entry, for 1906/07, names Yusuf Ziya as Telgraf ve posta merkezi memuru, with no place.

Places in order of time
