Currently, he is a columnist for Radikal.

Çandar served as special adviser to Turkish president Turgut Özal between 1991 and 1993. His interest was drawn to the events during the ethnic unrest in the Balkans between 1993 and 1995. From 1997, Çandar lectured for two years on "History and Politics in the Middle East" at Bilgi University in İstanbul. Between 1999 and 2000, he did research work on "Turkey of the 21st century" as a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace. His description of the 1998 events in Turkey as a "post-modern coup" gained notice internationally, though Radikal columnist Türker Alkan had used the term two weeks earlier.[8]

In 2007, he condemned the authorities for depriving Aghtamar of its Armenian past by renaming it to "Akdamar".
