Turkish Aksam Attacks Cypriot President: Allegations of 'Bribery Ring'

The Turkish newspaper Akşam has launched a fierce attack against the Republic of Cyprus and President Nikos Christodoulides, with accusations of corruption. The publication links Cyprus to scandals in Brussels, referring to the cases of Eva Kaili and Dimitris Syllouris, and attempts to defame President Christodoulides ahead of European developments. Aksam describes the President of Cyprus as a 'corrupt EU president' and claims that the Cypriot leadership is involved in a 'bribery ring'. Simultaneously, the publication emphasizes military and geopolitical developments in Syria and Iran, portraying Turkey as a security factor.
