North Cyprus journalist takes on Turkey’s mighty Erdogan 1 SHARES Share it! Only Ankara recognizes the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). After Afrika’s article on Afrin, Erdogan called on Ankara’s “brothers in north Cyprus to give the necessary response”. Contacted by AFP, Turkey’s embassy in northern Cyprus refused to comment on “unfounded allegations” that Ankara interferes with the media. His two-decade career has long brought pressure from the Turkish Cypriot authorities.
