Erdogan's main Opponent made Accusations against Russia

Accusations against Russia were made by the main opponent of Turkish President Recep Erdogan in the upcoming Sunday elections for a new head of state.

Opposition candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu tweeted that Moscow was spreading fake news to influence the campaign.

The publication appeared a few hours after another candidate, Muharrem Ince, withdrew his candidacy. He was the subject of a powerful online campaign, which he described as defamation.

Polls give Kılıçdaroğlu a slight lead over Erdogan. If neither can get more than 50% of the vote on Sunday, there will be a runoff in Turkey on May 28.
