Türkiye’s 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections have gained significant attention from international media, with many outlets providing coverage of the campaign and speculating on the potential outcome.
However, several publications have been accused of biased reporting, with critics saying that their coverage has been slanted against the country’s government and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, seen as attempts to influence the voting behaviour of the Turkish public.
The biased reporting of Türkiye's presidential and parliamentary elections by Western news outlets is a common occurrence during election cycles, according to Türkiye's Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee Chairperson and former sports minister, Akif Cagatay Kilic.

"They have a track record of taking sides and do not behave in an objective journalistic manner," says Kilic, who spoke exclusively to TRT World, pointing out that some Western news outlets are attempting to influence the decision of Turkish voters.
The latest issues of The Economist, Le Point, and Der Spiegel have all depicted Recep Tayyip Erdogan on their covers negatively as millions of Turkish voters prepare to cast their votes in the upcoming elections.
The Economist, which has a readership of millions globally, openly called for Erdogan’s removal, which punctures its claims of fair and neutral journalism.

Other publications also accused of biased coverage of the elections include The New York Times, the BBC, Foreign Policy and L'Express.
"Nobody is taking them seriously anymore," says Kilic, pointing out that this type of biased coverage over the years has impacted the journalistic legitimacy of some Western news outlets.
The German-born Turkish statesman also points out that state-run news outlets from Germany which are focusing their reports on the Turkish opposition are trying, like "some other international news outlets,” to influence Turkish voters by selective coverage and “open animosity towards President Erdogan's election campaign.”
"They are trying to interfere with the voting behaviour of the Turkish people," Kilic says.
Despite these attempts, Kilic underlines his belief that biased international news outlets will not influence Turkish people, stating that "Turkish people will show these news outlets that they will decide their own fate at the ballot boxes."
Various voices within the Turkish state and government, as well as civil society, have also called out the biased coverage of the Turkish elections across Western media.

"Vyombo vya habari vya Magharibi vilivyo na upendeleo vinavyojaribu kushawishi uamuzi wa wapiga kura wa Uturuki"
Machapisho kadhaa ya Magharibi yameshutumiwa kwa kuripoti upendeleo, na mapendekezo kuwa hili ni jaribio la kushawishi tabia ya upigaji kura ya umma wa Uturuki.
"Waturuki wataonyesha vyombo hivi vya habari kwamba wataamua hatima yao wenyewe kwenye masanduku ya kura," anasema Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Bunge ya Masuala ya Kigeni ya Türkiye, Akif Cagatay Kılıc. / Picha: Jalada la AA Uchaguzi wa rais na bunge wa Türkiye wa 2023 umepata uangalizi mkubwa kutoka kwa vyombo vya habari vya kimataifa, huku vyombo vingi vikitoa habari za kampeni na kubahatisha matokeo yanayoweza kutokea. Walakini, machapisho kadhaa yameshutumiwa kwa kuripoti upendeleo, na wakosoaji wakisema kuwa habari zao zimeelekezwa dhidi ya serikali ya nchi hiyo na Rais Recep Tayyip Erdogan, anayeonekana kama majaribio ya kushawishi tabia ya upigaji kura ya umma wa Uturuki. Kuripoti kwa upendeleo kuhusu uchaguzi wa rais na ubunge wa Türkiye na vyombo vya habari vya Magharibi ni jambo la kawaida wakati wa mizunguko ya uchaguzi, kulingana na Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Masuala ya Kigeni ya Bunge la Türkiye na waziri wa zamani wa michezo, Akif Cagatay Kilic. "Wana rekodi ya kuegemea upande mmoja na hawaendi kwa uandishi wa habari wenye malengo," anasema Kilic, ambaye alizungumza pekee na TRT World, akibainisha kuwa baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vya Magharibi vinajaribu kushawishi uamuzi wa wapiga kura wa Kituruki. Matoleo ya hivi punde ya The Economist, Le Point, na Der Spiegel yote yameonyesha Recep Tayyip Erdogan kwenye jalada lao vibaya huku mamilioni ya wapiga kura wa Uturuki wakijiandaa kupiga kura katika uchaguzi ujao. Gazeti la The Economist, ambalo lina wasomaji wa mamilioni ya watu duniani kote, lilitoa wito kwa uwazi kuondolewa kwa Erdogan, ambalo linapinga madai yake ya uandishi wa habari wa haki na usioegemea upande wowote.
Machapisho mengine pia yanayoshutumiwa kwa kuangazia uchaguzi huo kwa upendeleo ni pamoja na The New York Times, BBC, Sera za Kigeni na L'Express.
"Hakuna mtu anayezichukulia kwa uzito tena," anasema Kilic, akionyesha kwamba aina hii ya uandishi wa habari kwa miaka mingi imeathiri uhalali wa uandishi wa baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vya Magharibi.
Mwanasiasa huyo mzaliwa wa Ujerumani pia anaeleza kwamba vyombo vya habari vya serikali kutoka Ujerumani ambavyo vinaangazia ripoti zao kwa upinzani wa Uturuki vinajaribu, kama vile "vyombo vingine vya habari vya kimataifa," kushawishi wapiga kura wa Uturuki kwa matangazo ya kuchagua na "uadui wa wazi dhidi ya Uturuki. Kampeni za uchaguzi za Rais Erdogan.”
"Wanajaribu kuingilia kati tabia ya upigaji kura ya watu wa Uturuki," Kilic anasema.
Licha ya majaribio haya, Kilic anasisitiza imani yake kwamba vyombo vya habari vya kimataifa vyenye upendeleo havitaathiri watu wa Uturuki, akisema kuwa "Waturuki wataonyesha vyombo hivi vya habari kwamba wataamua hatima yao wenyewe kwenye masanduku ya kura."
Sauti mbalimbali ndani ya serikali na serikali ya Uturuki, pamoja na mashirika ya kiraia, pia wametoa wito wa kutangazwa kwa upendeleo wa uchaguzi wa Uturuki katika vyombo vya habari vya Magharibi.
